Benedicta Gafah, an actress, recently spoke out about a discussion she had with her female househelp, who asked for a pay raise because of the high cost of living in Ghana.
Benedicta claims that she has consented to her housekeeper’s conditions because she can understand why her compatriots in Ghana are complaining about their economic position.
Kumawood’s actress said on Facebook on Wednesday that costs had risen dramatically after the devaluation of the Ghana cedi against the US dollar.

“My househelp politely asked for an increment in her monthly salary, then I asked her why I should do that..she said due to the high prices of basic needs, the money is unable to sustain her for the whole month… And it dawned on me that 1 dollar is now 10gh. So she’s right about it…And I honestly love the fact that she was able to open up to me, not forgetting she’s a single mother as well….And we all know that once the dollar goes up, it rapidly affects the price of every single thing. Interesting times,” the 30-year-old wrote in a Facebook post dated September 6.
In the meanwhile, a number of famous people have demanded that the government do something about the skyrocketing prices we’re facing.
