Have you compared monthly salary of workers during Mahama time to that of Akuffo Addo? Just do that and you will see the difference.

Is nothing to write home about. Prices increased over 400% and salary increases on 50-100%, what impact does it have on our quality of life.

So how much will the NDC sell a.litre in the unlikely event of coming to power? Did the NDC take it at ₵4 from JK and let it stay fixed for the 8years in power? No, no and no.

Don’t worry. Nobody wants Petroleum products to go up but there is nothing we can do about it. The prices are going to go up more. Russia’s oil infrastructure are being attacked by Ukraine. The Houthis are targeting all ships passing through the Red Sea. The Middle East is now boiling and is not going to be good for the Oil industry. The prices of everything is going to go up so just learn how to deal with it.
We complain of high fuel prices but many people in Ghana drive SUVs to work and drive alone without passengers. Until Joe Biden became the Vice President, he went to work with his Bike to the Train Station and then rode to office. How many of Ghana MPs will ride a Bike to take a Bus to work? We bite more than we can chew and we start to cry when we can’t swallow. With the president political climate in East Asia, and the Middle East, let us brace ourselves for higher prices of everything. I have a car but I don’t remember the last time I drove to work. I walk to the Bus stop which is about two miles from my house. Then I take it to the Train Station from where I walk to work. I t surprises me when I see only one person in an SUV driving to work, store or the funeral. Prices of things are not going to go down in Ghana and the World so let us live within our means.
We complain of high prices of fuel in Ghana. Have we considered why our Francophone neighbors and ZOOGERIANS come to Ghana to smuggle fuel into their countries?

This is an unintelligent and not logical calculating coming from a useless,incompetent and so called useless and stupid lawyer. Even a kindergarten student will not be so miopic like edudzi who heads the NDC legal team.

Such a person talking calls himself a lawyer, because of cheap politics. I don't blame him because he knows majority of Ghanaians are shallow minded and believe in lies and propaganda. How is fuel sold globally per litre?

If we have people like this lawyer in the forefront of our development, in 100 years, Ghana would be worse than it is today. According to him the price of petrol under Mahama was GHC 14 per gallon. What was the price under Kuffour? The price of petrol was GHC3.51 per gallon or GHP78 per litre in 2009.
When you hear this know that these people are only interested in coming into politics to lie their way to the top and milk the nation to ensure that the situation of the average Ghanaian becomes more deplorable. He's not serious. Someone can insult him but I was not taught that.

Oknkwo Jnr, You couldn’t have said better than this. Edudzi Tamakloe is very unintelligent when it comes to national discourse. Is Edudze T. aware that the global inflation has affected the price indexes of local economies of the world. In Europe here prices have shot up close to about 47% and Edudzi Tamakloe thinks Yesterday must be Today. Ndc has lost its thinking cap.

Edudzi, please give us a break and stop the misinformation. When NDC took power in January 2009, a gallon of petrol was GHC 3.69. When you left power in January 2017, a gallon of petrol was GHC 16.86 (approximately 450% increase). World crude oil was $45.00. From GHC 16.86 in January 2017 to current of GHC 63.00 per gallon at current world crude oil price of $87, this current administration has approximately 373%. With current world crude oil at $87.00 as against $45 in 2017, this present administration is doing far better in the rate of increase than the NDC administration. These are the facts that can be verified.

It saddens my heart when educated people do analysis like this. Eduzie should also tell us how much it was under Kuffour. But he wouldn't because that will expose how warped his analysis is. He should read outside law to know what is going on globally. Otherwise he will always compare oranges and apples which intellectuals shouldn't do. A smart analysis would look into how fuel prices has increased internationally verses Ghana in 2024 compare to that of 2016. If I were to mark Eduzie's analysis I will give him 10%. Better prices doesn't necessarily mean lower prices, it means what it is vs what it could be.
