The problems being faced by the Nana Addo-Bawumia is on, and seams to be increasing almost everyday, rather that calming down.
The current difficulties hitting the country under the NPP government, actually started increasing; after assuming Office in the year 2021 for a second term.
First it was challenges with a broken economy; then the increasing cost of living, high cost of goods and services, protests here and there; and many more.
As if that was not enough, the ‘Arise Ghana Youth’ street protest, also hit the street of Accra; on 28 June 2022. The protest was organized by the Arise Ghana Youth; to force the Nana Addo-Bawumia government, to improve living condition of the citizens, and to address the numerous challenges being faced in the country.
On July 4, 2022, the government was hit by another unexpected blow, when teachers in Ghana declared a nationwide strike, over government’s failure, to pay their Cost of Living Allowance (COLA).
