What did he expect? Ask him again. Many of us sent special letters to the president about the hikes and the rippling effects on his administration but he will not listen. Workers are going to demand more now. Every person who deals with Ghana will suffer. Even the praise singers will suffer, and their generation too. Increases bring revenue to the government and country but not in this way. Where in any part of the Developed World do such hikes happen. Asaga says he is shocked? He should be careful he is not electrocuted.

This is atypical example of a failed state. Are there no leaders in the country? Ghanaians are by nature very corrupt, dishonest, liars, wicked, ignorant, thieves and hypocrites according to the current chief justice.

When the price hikes were taken, did the government take any stakeholder into consideration? If you hike prices of fuel, water and electricity, this is what you get. In Ghana, whatever prices that gets hiked and their rippling effects never come down. Very soon, workers will demand more as I wrote personally to tell the government a few weeks back.

Mahama should listen to those who criticize him constructively and not hid praise singers who always sing glory to even wrong moves he makes. If he does not take care... I rest my words.

Evil Asaga confers like a strike to cry. He lies in a field of fuel. Transport must charge to build more where dirt roads with mud and Asaga disease with rain.

Asaga should not cry because in Ghana, prices that are increased do not come down. The market women will never lower their prices once the prices go up. The Ghanaian is going to suffer, including those in diaspora. Duties at the ports are going to shoot high too. Workers are going to demand more and that will lead to inflation. Our Cedi will become like a Toilet Roll. Mark my words.

Nonsense, why are you shocked? When crude prices were going down on the international market you decided to increase our ex-pump prices by as much as 28%. Transport operators have every reason to increase prices as even water to cool their engine has been increased by about 60%. Allow them to also make some profit whilst you people create, loot and share. Prices of spare parts have gone up due to the continuous depreciation of the cedi. Insurance premiums have been increased by about 60%. Don't be selfish because we are in an election year. Your government is already unpopular.

Of all the people in authority in Ghana, the one who makes the least sense is Moses Asaga. I don't understand why he's still at post. We remember his silly analysis comparing prices of fuel in developed countries with higher rates of hourly wages and that of Ghana. His stupid statement asking people with BMW etc not to complain about fuel prices and his dim argument above. Where was he when prices of world fuel prices were going down when Ghana's were going up?

Asaga u think you guys are smart to reduce fuel prices insignificantly to confuse transport owners. NDC don't worry because Ghanaians will take a piece of clothe, bentoa, sugar, Gh 5 cedis and vote for you.
