Repair rising fuel prices and prevent the needless explanation – Gyampo roasts gov’t

The Senior Lecturer at the University or college of Ghana Political Technology Department Prof. Ransford Gyampo has asked the government and it is appointees to stop giving Ghanaians explanations for the rise in gas prices. According to him, these were voted into office in order to cause a change and not to supply explanations to every issue that will comes up. He believes the essence of governance would be to solve problems and not offer an explanation as to why the problems continue. Making this known in a Fb post, Ransford Gyampo stated “There is always a reason exactly why fuel prices go up. Just like there is a reason today, there is a reason yesterday. We are sick and tired of the explanations. The outdoor hikes are now killing. The fact of governance is to resolve problems & not to eloquently explain them”. Meanwhile, Associated with fuel in Ghana went up by 3. 3% per gallon at the water pump setting social media on fire right after Total Petroleum effected the very first of expected increases this evening with a litre at Ghc6. 90. Before the increase a few. 3% increase per gal., a litre of gas and diesel wasselling on Ghc6. 80 at the various filling up stations but will now end up being sold at Ghc6. 90 translation into Ghc31. 05 for each gallon from Ghc30. summer for both petrol plus diesel. This comes the federal government promised the removal of the Price Leveling and Recovery Levies (PRSL) component of fuel prices for 2 months but which is however to take effect due to parliamentary approval hurdle. Despite, the particular Executive Director of the Institue for Energy Security (IES), Nana Amoasi VII, got expressed fears that the steps announced by government to check on prices were not adequate, explaining the government’s approach since “knee-jerk” because prices can keep going up because of the system getting run. “If care is not really taken, we will see this cost surging on the market consistently. You might ask how the government will certainly negotiate to solve the situation, yet unfortunately, where the government rests today, it will be able to decrease these taxes by over 10 percent and the approach the federal government has taken, we call it knee-jerk because it is not sustainable… Additional things the government must do to make sure that fuel prices remain steady. You can take away all the fees, but trust me because we now have mechanisms that have broken down, we are going to still come to the same GH¢6. 80 per litre in under six months because we have turn out to be price takers”, he highlighted.
