Most Ghanaians think their living conditions are bad. This was one of the highlights of the Afrobarometer report conducted from May to June this year.Explaining the findings of the survey, afrobarometer project coordinator for Anglophone countries Daniel Armah Attoh said the release is expected to inform policy decision in the areas of concern- education, health and unemployment.“The majority of Ghanaians assess their personal living conditions as very bad or bad. Looking at the trend from 2002 to 2012 you see the dip in the number of Ghanaians describing their living conditions as very bad and bad.“…However from 2008-2012 there has been a decline in the number describing their conditions as very good that is from 42 per cent to 36 per cent.“76 per cent however believe they will be able to solve their problems in the next five years, the survey report indicated.In a reaction, the Deputy Finance Minister Seth Terkper said the government takes seriously any survey that reflects the views of Ghanaians.He was quick to add that the results of the survey must reflect the conditions on the ground.“If the survey runs counter to the evidence on the ground,” its acceptability will be difficult, he noted.He said the Ministry is yet to receive a copy of the detailed report and has cautioned against wrong interpretations.
