Render An Apology To Ghanaians Now – Tenants’ Union Go After Awutu Senya East MP Over Rent Comment

In response to an alleged unpleasant statement she made to Ghanaians, the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture and a member of parliament for Awutu Senya East, Hon Mavis Hawa Koomson, is being demanded by the National Tenants Union of Ghana (NATUG) to issue an apology to Ghanaians.

Comparing Ghana’s rent to Canada, the Minister stated in a radio interview that Ghanaians are really fortunate to have inexpensive rent.

 

Watch the minister’s interview granted on Accra-based Onua FM below.

 

The public has heavily criticized her for what she said, questioning why she would compare Ghana to a nation with such an advanced country.

The demand follows a comment the MP made during an interview with Onua Television on Wednesday, February 21, 2024.

Hawa Koomson stated that Ghanaians should be grateful for the rent charge in Ghana, asserting that it is more expensive in Canada.

She said, “People have been complaining that rent is expensive in Ghana. They should go to Canada. For a month, you pay over 2,000 Canadian dollars. That’s for a single room, not even a chamber and hall.”

The union, in a statement on Thursday, February 22, 2024, expressed dismay at the statement by the Minister and demanded an apology to Ghanaians.
