L.I for controlling cement prices is like prescribing paracetamol for a situation that requires surgery – Ohene Ntow

A leading member of the Movement for Change, Nana Ohene Ntow, has said that the decision by the ministry of trade to control the prices of cement as misplaced.

According to him, the best approach to controlling price of cement and other commodities on the market is to tackle inflation and depreciation of the cedi.

“I agree with some level of control. But the decision to lay and LI to control the price of cement is like prescribing paracetamol to cure a headache whose root cause requires a surgery,” he said on Key Points on July 6.
