Can this be true? 20% increment? Hmmm. This is big matter for the poor. Is Ghana an oil producing country? Well, it is good for all of us. Country broke or country no broke, we all dey inside.

WHO CAN PROVE KWASI ADADE WRONG??? ---"IT IS ONLY A FOOL, WHO ALLOWS HIS TESTICLES TO BE STEPPED ON, TWICE"-------GO OUT THERE AND RECEIVE YOUR REWARD, ALL GHANAIANS. GO AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS. YOU DON'T GIVE A SECOND MANDATE TO AN INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, NO!! NOT AT ALL, THAT IS ABOMINATION IN DEMOCRACY, VERY SUICIDAL. HAD NDC MANAGED THE ECONOMY WELL, THESE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE SITUATION. NDC HAS PRESIDED OVER THE BIGGEST RESOURCES GHANA HAS EVER HAD. THEY HAVE ALSO CONTRACTED MORE LOANS THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT IN OUR HISTORY, BUT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS. GHANAIANS SHOULD HAVE ENJOYED SOME ECONOMIC PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. THE ECONOMY IS COLLAPSING BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS SO CORRUPT. TO RESCUE THE SITUATION, THE POOR IS NOW BEING FORCED TO PAY. THIS IS INJUSTICE. THIS IS NOT THE GHANA KUFFOUR HANDED OVER TO NDC, HE EVEN ADDED FRESH CRUDE OIL WELLS. NPP TRANFORMED GHANA TO A MIDDLE INCOME ECONOMY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES BUT GOOD POLICIES. NDC IS WOEFULLY REVERSING THESE NPP ACHIEVEMENTS. GHANA'S CURRENT SITUATION IS VERY DISTURBING. WHEN THE HISTORY IS TOLD, IT WILL BE SAID THAT GHANAIANS WERE OFFERED FREE SECONDARY EDUCATION, IMPROVED UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL HOUSING FOR THE POOR AND AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY BUT 50% SAID NO THANK YOU. THEY PREFERRED ECONOMIC "WOYOMISATION" , PHANTOM DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PHILANDERERS FOR LEADERS, MACHIAVELLIAN DISRESPECTFUL CORRUPT LOUTS AND A VISIONLESS EVIL GOVERNMENT. I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR NANA AKUFFO ADDO.

After the discovery of oil in commercial quantities, must we endure such hardship ?

Is increasing taxes on everything including condoms,incoming telephone calls and the price of fuel products the only option that the NDC has, to raise revenues to steal ?

Are these stealers in power really Ghanaians ?

Increase in the prices of fuel at this time, especially kerosine which the frequent unreliable electricity supply has led many people to depend on is increased. The government must think twice. If Mahama wants to contest for the second term, he needs to be careful. His advisers are doing him a great harm. If it continues like this, he should face a stiff opposition everywhere. More strikes will also follow. Mark my words.

NDC understand the intricacies about government and the plight of the average man/woman in Ghana. Since coming to power, how many times have they increased transport fares, petrol, taxes and things that damping the hopes of the average Ghanaian? Yes, NDC cares too much hence their insensitiveness.

Governing through propaganda, NDC will eventually be exposed by the economic indicators as we are seeing now. Clueless, recklessness, abysmal, pathetically useless is the hallmark of NDC.

Since Mahama came to power, the best he has done is to increase his salary and I dare anyone to come out with the achievement of Mahama and his goon squad.

It sounds irrational how anyone would think a coup party that came into power primarily on the disgruntlement of one drug addict could lead the country beyond that cloud of vexation. Don't blame me; I did not vote for NDC.

Lazy, irrational economic management!
Everyone buys petroleum products, so tax them, condom use is very popular, tax it. The farmers and fishermen can't hurt us, tax cutlasses and fishing corks.
What a country!

LEFT TO ME ALONE THE INCREASE SHOULD BE 50% TO RAKE IN REVENUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT'S DEVELOPMENT. NDC SHOULD DO THE INCREASE NOW BEFORE WE WIN POWER IN 2016. NANA ADDO AL THE WAY, 2016 ONE TIME.
