A man has cried out about some food vendors in Kumasi’s selling small portions of food despite the recent reduction in food prices.
According to the man, President John Mahama’s good governance has reduced food prices, but food vendors in Kumasi continue to serve small portions when he buys from them.
The man shockingly tagged the Kumasi food vendors as witches.
He alleged that the Kumasi food vendors are doing this out of jealousy, pain, and hatred towards the NDC government.
He further questioned why only food vendors in Kumasi are still serving low portions of food.
Speaking in the viral video, the man stated, “I am saying Kumasi women who sell food are all witches, you are surprised, if it is not witchcraft, since this government came in, they have reduced prices of food.”
“We usually eat rice and maize, and some small yam; this thing has been reduced, but when you are going to buy food, they serve you something small”.
“The people of Kumasi are the ones doing this, they are in pain, that the government has changed and things are going well, but they are deliberately planning to make things difficult if this is not witcraft what is it?”, he added.
Some netizens reacting to the video stated, “Some Ghanaian businesses are 5 and 6 with high profits”.
“Bro went full detective mode: food prices drop thanks to JM → Kumasi waakye ladies still stingy with portions → must be NDC hatred witchcraft”, one x user added.
One more x user added. “If you’re making a point about fairness and realism, food vendors can’t reduce prices in just a moment. For any real drop to happen, the costs of raw materials and services must fall by about 50–60% across the board.
And also some are on loans before the cedi’s appreciation against foreign currency.
Just as good policies of government don’t just don’t reflect on the growth of the economy, but also as it was implemented. It needs some time frame”.

According to the Kenkey seller, a bag of maize, which used to sell at ¢900, has dropped to ¢500 per bag, hence the reduction in her kenkey prices.
Speaking in a viral video, the kenkey seller located behind the Electoral Commission headquarters stated, “Maize prices have dropped, so I also have to reduce the price of Kenkey. If you are selling and the prices drop, you have to reduce them. Before, a bag of maize was being sold at ¢900 to ¢500.
The kenkey is 5 cedis, I don’t sell kenkey for 7 cedis here, it is 5 and 4 cedis”, she added.
