A visit to the market in the Bolgatanga Municipality revealed that prices of goods had been increased astronomically due to the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr which marks the end of the one month Ramadan being one of the pillars of Islam.
A cost of guinea fowl sold at forty Cedis is now increased by one hundred percent and sold at eighty Cedis.
Those bought at thirty-five Cedis were yesterday being purchased between sixty and seventy Cedis. Some of the Muslims were surprised about the sharp increase of the prices of goats, sheep and guinea fowls and appealed to traders to refrain from using seasons to sell things at cut--throat prices to their customers.
