General News of Thursday, 21 November 2019Source: Ghanaweb.comAfrobarometer has named Ghana’s biggest problem and it is not corruption or unemploymentAfrobarometerInfrastructure and roads are the most frequently cited problem that Ghanaians want government to address, a new Afrobarometer survey indicates. For the first time since 2002, infrastructure/roads top the list of citizens’ priorities, beating out unemployment. Citizens’ ranking of their most important problems is fairly consistent regardless of respondents’ region, age, or urban-rural location, but the groups’ relative emphasis on these problems varies. Older and rural residents place a higher premium on infrastructure and roads, while youth and urbanites prioritize unemployment. Government’s 2020 budget has earmarked GH¢9.3 billion for infrastructure projects.
