Hon. Vicson Bright Selorm, Deputy Minority Whip of the Ho Municipal Youth Parliament, has submitted a petition to the Rent Control Department regarding the increasingly expensive cost of hostel accommodation across the Ho Municipality.

​Hon. Selorm highlighted that soaring hostel rates are putting immense financial strain on students and young residents who rely on reasonably priced housing to further their education.

​Through the petition, he is asking the Rent Control Department to look into the matter and enforce measures that compel hostel owners to charge fair and regulated rates.

​He emphasized that the initiative is intended to shield students and local residents from unfair pricing while helping establish a more structured and affordable housing system in the municipality.

​Hon. Selorm called on the appropriate agencies to act swiftly on the issue to ease the burden on students, families, and the general public.
