I relocated my children from London to Ghana due to better living conditions here – Wontumi

In an interview with Kojo Marfo on Abusua FM, Wontumi disclosed that he has relocated his children to Ghana, citing the country’s enjoyable environment and lower cost of living.

Wontumi argued that, “I always say Ghana is better than London. If I say so, am I a joker, or is this a joking platform that I would say such things?”

He contended, “Ghana is better than London. My children are in Ghana here because Ghana is more enjoyable than London.”

Wontumi highlighted Ghana’s progress, mentioning initiatives like free education and planting for food and jobs.

He said these efforts had led to decreased food prices, with tomatoes now costing Ghc5.

He insisted, “Because of the Planting for Food and Jobs initiative, foodstuffs are now cheap. Tomatoes are now GH¢5. Pepper, plantains, and meat are not cheap in our markets.”

Not even the market prices relayed by the host Kojo Marfo could get Chairman Wontumi to relate to the general public cries of hardship.

He rather accused Kojo Marfo, who insisted he had turned a vegetarian to avoid purchasing meat, of propagating an agenda of the opposition National Democratic Congress.

“If you have now adopted a vegetarian diet, then you’re not spending a lot. As a vegetarian, you can eat pawpaw leaves, kontomire, and cassava leaves; it’s okay for you.”

“You are spreading NDC propaganda. If not for that, you wouldn’t say you can’t even buy meat,” Chairman Wontumi responded.

Wontumi pointed out that food had become so affordable he could eat GH¢10.00 worth of Gari and beans, to his satisfaction.
