A tweet from user @KyeiMeshack on X (formerly Twitter) captures a butcher expressing frustration over the current state of the economy and the rising prices of mutton, chevon, and beef.
Responding to a customer’s inquiry about the soaring meat prices, the butcher attributed the situation to what he described as the incompetence of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer and vice president, as well as the mismanagement of the economy by the Akufo-Addo government.
Expressing dismay over the drastic price hike, the butcher highlighted the significant increase in the cost of meat, from GHS 16 per pound in 2016 to the current price of GHS 30.
“Thanks to Nana Addo and Bawumia’s lies. The lies are now getting out of hand. Its too much. A pound of boneless in 2026 was 12 cedis but today it is 30 cedis”, he fumed.

He directed his anger towards Vice President Bawumia, accusing him of deceiving Ghanaians with numerous false promises and policies.
He said, “In 2016, you would get a well-looking cow at GHS 1000 but today it is a whopping GHS 10k and even more. Nana and Bawumia have messed up big time, they have destroyed the economy completely.”.
He expressed his willingness to judge Bawumia and Akufo-Addo:
“If God doesn’t judge them well, he should allow me to judge him, he tells lies too much. His bald head is like the sole of someone’s shoe. He will go straight to hell” he stated.
