Fuel Price Goes Up Again, and E-levy Lurking Around, Is 2022 About To Get Hot For Ghanaians?

The suffering of the ordinary Ghanaian and the entire standard of living of most Ghanaians are about to hit the roofs as fuel prices have moved past the Ghc 7 mark, and inching towards hitting Ghc 8. Some have termed it as “Breaking the eight (8). 

Once again, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) seems to have lost the fuel pricing politics and debate, too. 

In almost all the issues that falls under the control of central government, and directly affect Ghanaians, be it the economic fundamentals, services or commodity prices, the records of the NPP, per the scorecard, is to say the least, abysmal. 

In this particular instance, waking up to the news that, fuel price (Petrol, Diesel) and LPG (cooking gas) have gone up, and seeing a confirmation on a Shell display board is Perhaps, the worst news of the day. 

This was as a result of government’s decision to restore the Price Stabilisation Levy on fuel. This levy was removed about three months ago. According to government then, it was to cushion the citizens. 

However, even before the citizens assimilate the full effect of the reduction, government brings it back. 

Consequently, the already high process if Gas and Petrol thus goes higher, leaving many to wonder where we are now heading to?

Transport fares are expected to go up in the coming weeks, then followed by Prices of food and other essentials products. 

With E-levy lurking in the corridors of Parliament, 2022 is about to get hot for most workers in Ghana.
