Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo recently took a strong stance against MTN Ghana’s decision to raise data rates by 15%. Expressing her discontent on social media, Otoo highlighted her concern for both the company and its customers amidst the nation’s economic challenges.
Otoo’s reaction was fueled by her belief that the timing of the data price increase, amid economic hardship faced by many, was unfavorable. She raised the point that the hike in data charges could add further financial strain to individuals already grappling with rising living costs, especially considering the amounts earned by some as monthly salaries.
In her social media post, Otoo emphasized the need for action, suggesting that citizens should protest against the data price hike by MTN Ghana. She called for a collective expression of dissatisfaction to compel the network’s administrators to reconsider their decision.
“We need to demonstrate. This is terrible! How much are monthly salaries?” wrote Bridget Otoo on her social media page, articulating the urgency of addressing the impact of the data price increase on citizens’ financial burdens.
Otoo’s call for protest reflects the growing concern among many Ghanaians regarding the affordability of essential services, such as data, against the backdrop of economic challenges. Her vocal stance on social media serves as a rallying cry for citizens to raise their voices and advocate for fairer pricing structures that consider the financial constraints faced by many in the country.
