Senegal’s new government has announced measures to cut prices on the same commodities, including rice, oil, bread, cement, and fertilizer, in response to growing concerns about the cost of living amid high unemployment and inflation rates.
Government Secretary General, Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo, informed journalists that the price reductions would be implemented in the coming days. This move was part of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s efforts to fulfill his campaign promise to tackle the high living costs in the West African nation, which relies heavily on imports.
The question is can Nana Akuffo and Bawumia imitate him the great works of the young and vibrant president?
