If I understand this NPP mathematics of saying that the government can easily reduce the fuel price by three Cedis or four cedis it means we could be buying fuel at 39 pesewas or even that government , after one has gone to the fuel pump to buy a gallon of fuel, should give the same buyer 61 pesewas for going to buy fuel. What kind of bad politicking is this? Who really is government and who do these NPP politricians expect to pay for this accumulated debts. Please let's stop stampeding this government into taking wrong decisions. For me the present stance of government is commendable. These freebie attitude of the ghanaian should stop

You are a very STUPID goat to come out with this ridiculous argument. It is criminal on the part of your hopeless and visionless government to continue to sell petrol at GHC 3.39 per litre at a time when oil crude oil is going for about US$ 57. When will inward-looking fools like you sit up and reason a little? Hypocrite!

MOST OF GHANA'S POLITICIANS ALWAYS TALK NONSENSE!

NO WONDER "FOOLISH PROUD" GHANA IS ALWAYS BACKWARDS BY GLOBAL STANDARDS.

GHANAIAN DIASPORANS DELIVERING TOP-NOTCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OUTSIDE GHANA ARE ALL PRODUCTS OF NKRUMAH'S TOP-NOTCH EDUCATION SYSTEM IN GHANA.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT RUBBISH AND HOPELESS EDUCATION SYSTEM IN GHANA, WHICH IS MUCH IN CONTRAST TO CLUELESS ABLAKWA'S ATTRIBUTION TO THE INFLUX OF FOREIGN STUDENTS INTO GHANA'S EDUCATION SYSTEM.

CLUELESS ABLAKWA AND HIS FELLOW FUCKING CORRUPT GHANA POLITICIANS EPITOMIZE THE FALLING STANDARDS OF SUB-STANDARD EDUCATION IN GHANA, AND THE EVIDENCE IS RIGHT THERE, RIGHT IN GHANA, FOR ALL TO SEE.

FOREIGN STUDENTS ARE FLOCKING INTO GHANA FOR EDUCATION EITHER BECAUSE THE SITUATION IS MORE THAN HOPELESS IN THEIR COUNTRIES, OR THOSE HOPELESS LAZY FOREIGN STUDENTS CAN NOT STAND THE COMPETITIVE HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARDS IN WELL DEVELOPED AND ROBUST INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE OF GHANA, PERIOD.

If the PURC are running away from their own mandate to adjust the price of fuel then these institutions should be disbanded. Which organizations are milking Ghanaians? Which companies are benefiting from this wind fall. It is not the state but the individuals importers. Our MP's should sit up and stop the self glorification. They should ensure that the regulatory authorities do their work per the formulas they themselves have been using all the time. Lets fight these corrupt politician. We should not allow them to milk us like that. After all the wind fall could be use to pay a 'doubtful' judgement debt.

IN THE USA WHERE THERE ARE A LOT OF TAXES ADDED ON FUEL IT IS STILL SELLING AT A CHEAPER PRICE THAN IN GHANA, IN OLKAHOMA A GALLON OF UNLEADED GAS IS $1.99, IN KANAS $2.03 PER GALLON. THEY KEP DROPPING IN ALL OVER THE USA. SO WHAT IS GOING ON IN GHANA? WHY ARE GAS PRICES SO HIGH DESPITE GAS IS FALLING AT THE WORLD MARKET. OUR LEADERS ARE CORRUPT AND BECAUSE THEY GET GAS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TAX PAYERS THEY DONT CARE. GOVT SHOULD GET RID OF ALL THE TOYOTA LAND CRUISERS.

Hypocritical NPP!!!!Who piled that debt up and left it to be paid by Mahama,s government?It is sensible that the government should take advantage of the fall in oil prices to pay off the debt.

NDC is a pain in the neck>The NDC Government has no plan to work the Ghanaian Economy upon. It is just using the Robbing peter to pay Paul system and this is absolutely unjust. Why should this be so? It again looks like the country has no contingency plan to rely upon. Is this what NDC has for the good people that voted it into power? If this government had plans, this was the time it was supposed to complete all the untouched Roads that it has neglected since the Kuffour hand over times. Look Mahama had to go. Let us all put politics aside and say no to NDC for life.

Stupid inconsiderate pea chicken brains Mahama, motorist do not pump up for free at the Petrol Stations, we pay. Which in turn means you have collected your revenues and so stop continuing to steal and siphon our money. Its’ your incompetence, embezzlement, mismanagement that have left the country with the debt. You lack conscience, integrity and any sign of moral standard to ever become a leader. You can’t even lead a fish to swim or organise a piss in the beer bar. I pray ALL the stolen money you and your co-criminals have taken from the country, no matter whatever venture you invest in amounts to losses.
