20ghc for short and 80gh for long – Koforidua Ashawo ladies reduce their prices amid economic challenges

“We have reduced our prices to make Christmas exciting for you so come and patronise us,” some commercial sex workers at Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital have shockingly revealed.

“For some time now, business has been bad due to complaints of the current economic hardship

We have lost most of our customers because they also find it difficult to afford our prices”.

“Before the economic crises, we use to charge at least Ghc50 for a short time and an average of Ghc150 for night service but as we speak to you now, we barely get half of the above charges, and this is a big problem to us” some sex workers lamented.

“We know things are hard now so we are prepared to accept as low as Gh20 for short time and Ghc80 – 100 night services,” prostitutes told Bryt FM’s Nyarko Abronoma.

Koforidua’s municipal officials have struggled to remove commercial sex prostitutes in recent years

Most sex workers have departed Kasoa and Accra after being evicted.
