Petrol was ghc 11.40 in 2022 before the economic mess. Should we as prople be overburdened always because the prices are low. Before election barrel of crude was 85 dollars now is 62. External forces is determining prices. How about if crude price goes toc80 dollars per barrel

You are absolutely wright bro.
Aswell withdrawal the E-LEVY and bring this absurd LEVY on petrol (aswell by a lower cost price of a barrel of oil) is even a lack of economic knowledge.

Go on strike. You can't think correctly looking at the total situation. Fuel prices have dropped. Cedi has strengthened. These debts that have been left behind have to be paid, but 1 cedi per litre is all your mind can focus on. It is not your fault. All the smoke coming out of your GPRTU members buses may be causing a bit of dullness of the mind

The GPRTU that was created by NDC to destroy late Dr Hilla Liman bold step to improve Commercial Public Transport is now fighting Visionless John Mahama. When the gods want to kill you they first make you mad.

GPRTU must be apolitical. What did they do when Akufo Addo was once selling a litre of petrol to you at GH¢ 23.00? Even majority of drivers in Kumasi failed to decrease lorry fare. What are you telling them?

This increment shouldnt have happened. Akufo Addo should be blamed for this because he used Energy Sector Levy created by John Mahama to defry ECG's indebtedness but when Akufo Addo came to power in 2017, he recklessly used the levy as a collateral to secure loan and shared the money among NPP members. He subsequently left a very huge debt before leaving office. GPRTU must be educated on who caused all these problems.

This government is a scam, create looting and shearing government as we speak fuel prices have been reduced worldwide even in the UK and other European countries how come Ghana fuel prices are going up this is unbelievable nobody should accept that. Park all the vehicles at once and let see who will go to work. How could John Mahama gives you just ten percent pay increase and expect you to pay 14 percent on electricity and then 4 percent on water and now increase fuel taxes more than double for you. How can you survive as a human being. This is very serious all politics aside it will affect many lives in Ghana what’s kind of government is this, Ghanaians have made a wrong choice of government they just can’t do the job more hardship we follow if you don’t take action now because they have nothing good to offer Ghanaians same old cut and paste politics.One cedis per litre what this is ridiculous and is unacceptable they know Ghanaians will not accept it that’s why they pass the law very quickly without the notice of many Ghanaians it’s all wrong nobody should accept that.

One Ghana Cedis on every litre of fuel you in Ghana is wickedness and economic suicidal. Who actually advised the NDC government to come out with such a levy? It's sheer wickedness and out of sympathy for the suffering and hardship that Ghanaians go through on daily basis. Already the cost of living in Ghana is very high and salaries are very low. In fact, Ghanaian politicians are clueless and visionless. They don't have any respect for the ordinary Ghanaians

The problem is government's failure to communicate to Ghanaians properly on this increase, this is called the Energy Sector Levy Act estasblished in 2015. One of its component is the Energy Sector Debt Recovery Levy. The government within 5months has reduced the dollar rate and decreased fuel price swhich has affected the reduction of goods including spare parts and other products so GPRTU should come clear in the operational cost expenses because their statement do not reflect the reality on the ground. This levy have been paid by Ghanaians (including the GPRTU) for the past ten years, it is not a new tax but a partial increment of the levy from 0.49pesewas to 1 cedi. The challenge is the NPP made 42.2bn cedis equivalent to $4bn from 2017-2025 but because of mismanagement still left an artificial debt of $4bn at the Energy Sector. The question all Ghanaians should be asking the NPP is where is that money and why that money could not still pay off the debt?

A "partial increment" of more than 100%? Funny, you think we are fools?
