Representatives of commercial sex workers in Ghana are currently pissed with the government because the 2017 budget read by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta in the country's parliament does not directly address problems in their business.
President of prostitutes in Kumasi exclusively told mynewsgh.com that:
“We were expecting the government to remove taxes on the importation of condoms so that more
people will get interested in the prostitution business”.
“It is discriminatory that the budget captured head porters and left us, meanwhile, the work we do is more difficult than them.We all need government assistance to carry our work”
“If government announces free condoms for us, that one alone will make our work easier without fear of contracting any sexual transmitted diseases and also it will attract clients”
They also claimed that legalizing their work will help government to develop the nation through their taxes, as they are about two thousand across the Ashanti Region alone.
The sex workers appealed to President Nana Akufo-Addo to initiate a free distribution of condoms and also legalize prostitution so the work will be safe for them.
