You mean the economy will slow down if there is further reduction in fuel? Who taught you that. Reduction in the price of fuel will necessarily force better consumer bargain in most sectors of the economy especially now that there is financial difficulties everywhere. This man is the wrong choice for the NDC if this what they want to bring along again. What what is wrong at all with this president. It seems it is obvious failure has dawned and he is talking anyhow.

The greater part of our economy is in the informal sector which is so disorganized and uncoordinated.It will be difficult for fuel price reduction to be replicated in other sectors,how do GPRTU,PROTOA etc reduce fares when spareparts prices are high?Fuel price reduction will benefit only the middle class who will just burn the cheaper fuel in their private cars on our roads.

Why should Ghanaians pay for the money being stolen by the government appointees and NDC party people?
John Mahama has Real Estate Projects in Dubai, why should we pay for those projects.

Wearing of political lenses everywhere we go. Are you saying that the Nation does not ow BDC over Gh¢400 million? Do you have any evidence? If we do ow such an amount. Were we not the beneficiaries of circumstances that led to the accumulation of that debt? If we benefited. What is wrong if we contribute in paying this debt? Again, are we saying that 10% reduction in fuel price is insignificant? Should we have said same, if the 10% was an increment? Our concern, I think, should be how judicious is government going to use the proceed from the fuel price, to benefit Ghanains. As of now, GPRTU fails to reduce fares, following the reduction in fuel prices. Meanwhile, the law stipulates that fares must be increased, when fuel price goes up beyond 4%. By logic fares must go down, if fuel price goes down beyond 4%.

This is not about political lense but the truth. It is sad that Ghanaians are being asked to pay for the profiteering of NDC members.
The main reason why NDC will not reduce cost of fuel is because it is their Members who are importing the refined fuel sold to Ghana. So they buy cheap on Global Market and sell high in Ghana to make millions of dollars. That is the truth.
Ghana no longer import crude oil to refine at our refinery. But rather members of the NDC party and John Mahama's brothers import refined fuel for sale to Ghana at high prices for Ghanaians to pay. This is the new form of corruption and FRAUD being perpetrated on Ghanaians.
I know what is happening in the inner caucus that you dont know of.
Why are we not buy crude oil to refine but rather ask private people to import the finished products for government agency to distribute? The forum does not provide enough space for this discussion.

By this asertion, the church is a place where anybody who has eaten to his fill would go and brag about inexisting faith. Mahama is nothing but an embodiment of mediocrity.

First of all the presidents figures contradict that provided by the NPA. I need further education why he is saying further reduction will slow down the development. On a more serious note, I disagree when he said government paid. We the people of Ghana paid for thier inefficiency, thier bad governance. What does he mean by government paid. They have to reduce the price. We are tired oooo. What is this ?

1. He is incompetent.
2. He is corrupt.
3. He lacks vision.
The government is fast appearing as the bully of the Ghanaian people. Mahama must not take us as fools,after we elected him. When the world oil prices was advancing you raised petrol prices, it is now more than 50% less and you give us 10% back, and we say to you Mahama do not underestimate the power of the people. We are not fools, and do not consider us so.

Countries have reduced fuel prices and greater development is on going. What kind of development is Mahama talking about? After all they do not use internally generated funds for development apart from SECURED funds.

I thought that the Prez knew that:

a) The high prices of fuel was killing industry due to the dumsor, leading to dumsor since vra and the ipps have a lot of thermal mix in their generation, stunting growth and creating unemployment in the economy;

b) the princing formula for petroleum was based on an automatic price adjustment system, which had been accepted as a compact between government and citizens

On the basis of only these two, out of many others, the ILLOGICAL LOGIC NONESENSE MUST STOP SPewing out of high servants of Ghana.

It is a priceless opportunity to attack inflation and possibly bring down interest rates to spare the manufacturing sector of high production costs.
The next OPEC meeting is scheduled to take place by midyear.They may jack up the price of crude oil.So now is the time to reduce our prices and have significant benefits.
The price of crude oil will most probably reduce to below $40/barrel before the OPEC meeting.

Mr. President Mahama, quickly reduce the fuel price according to the automatic price system. When President Kuffour was buying the fuel above $120 NDC led By Late President Mills demonstrated for reduction of fuel price. Is President Mahama telling Ghanaians that President Kuffour didn't have any debt to pay at that time?
Mr President, go and collect all the Judgement debts from, WOYOME etc and SADA etc to pay those debts and reduce the fuel price. Ghanaians are suffering. You are becoming the most wicked President / Gov’t Ghana has had since Independent. Long live Ghana.
