Ghana Will Progress When Condoms Are Cheap – Kwaku Manu
Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has appealed to the Akufo-Addo government to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians.
The actor, in an Instagram post, bitterly complained about the prices of condoms and pads noting that condoms and pads have become expensive for the ordinary Ghanaian.
He stated that one of the main things that will help Ghana to progress is the use of condom and pad arguing when condoms are cheap, it will help prevent unwanted pregnancies.
The comic actor literally begged the government to reduce condom and pad prices to make it affordable for women as they cannot do away with pads and for the men to protect themselves during sexual intercourse.
He said; “I would plead with the leaders of this nation, I have never talked about this issue before. One of the things that will help us to progress as a country is condoms but it is something people feel shy to buy. The second thing is a pad, the one women use when they menstruate. It is very essential but today pads and condoms are more expensive than banku that we eat.
“Someone dropped out of school because she mistakenly got pregnant. Meanwhile, if condoms cost even GH¢2 the person could have bought them for protection. Now pad costs almost GH¢20, how can a poor schoolgirl or an orphan afford this? So I am pleading with the leaders to do something about this, it’s very difficult, and I know they have money.”
