Fuel Price Increase
Need "Kumepreko" Response
We are shocked at the
unconscionable attitude of the National
Petroleum Authority and the NDC government
in the midst of Ghana's worst economic
performance under John Mahama.
AFAG considers the recent increase in fuel
prices as unrealistic and politically
incorrect. In the wake of the current
precarious and deplorable economic situation
of the Ghanaian, it makes no sense to
further impoverish the people of Ghana with
excessive taxation on goods and services.
This is especially so, as the welfare system
(school feeding program, capitation grant,
LEAP etc.) is in limbo leaving no room for
socioeconomic cushioning of the Ghanaian.
This fuel price increase is no good news to
businesses. It is a double jeopardy to
businesses as it’s already burdened with
high capital expenditure on generator
purchases, maintenance and operational cost
vis-a-vis Dumsor.
AFAG blames president Mahama for his poverty
of understanding of economic management
amidst large scale corruption rocking his
administration leaving him to the harsh
external dictates of the IMF. This fuel
price increase is just the IMF unobtrusively
in attendance.
AFAG dreads how such economic practices can
hurt the moral fabric of the country.
Lately, robbery, prostitution, slum
development, teenage pregnancy,
institutional corruption has been on the
ascendancy. It will be of great good to the
Ghanaian if the president can attempt to sit
up to work. There is too much hopeless in
the system.
AFAG is calling for all political pressure
groups and civil societies to join forces in
organizing a 3 day picketing anytime
appropriate dubbed "kumepreko" ostensibly to
press home for improved economic living
condition for the Ghanaian.
