Press Release
AFAG
February 01, 2016
15% TRANSPORT FARE
INCREASE: REALISTIC FUEL DECREASE NOW!!
We are still living with the consequences of a tormenting
economic storm generated by the crisis of wasteful
expenditure and massive corruption. Indeed, living standard
has been enormously poor and far from a return to normalcy.
Fellow Ghanaians, there are some ugly black clouds
gathering, which could portend worse to come. The thick
clouds of unexpected price increases in transport fares,
food, school fees, rent, healthcare, unfair market pricing
of petrol and other related products.
We are left to our fate and each one of us must be prepared
for the worst. The future of the Ghanaian is in danger. The
youths are hopeless and basic livelihood is in danger.
Parents must brace themselves up for a real challenge that
does not guarantee the social safety of their children
simply because the NDC government has failed to provide
economic relief and the change they promised.
Ghanaians have been made to understand that, the inability
of government to provide employment in the midst of a high
tax regime under harsh IMF conditionality’s is the new
normal.
Fellow Ghanaians, who can you trust in society where many of
those who know better (and can stand up for the ordinary
Ghanaian) have ignored the clarion call to speak against
economic servitude, and stand up for the poor. The youths of
this great country must stand up and be counted. We have our
destinies in our hands.
Fellow countrymen, AFAG has series of necessary, radical not
excluding mass actions in the year to drive home our demand
for a good living standard, improved welfare, affordable
school fees, rent and healthcare. We demand deeds not words.
The time is now!!!
AFAG is appalled at the 15% transport fares slapped on
Ghanaians, the inability for prices of fuel prices to
decrease in the midst a very low international price ($28
per barrel) of crude. We need fair market practices. The
OMCs are "stealing" from the poor and a benign John Mahama
government looks on unconcerned. No way!!!
Fellow Ghanaians, If fuel price deregulation don’t make
sense in 6 weeks, AFAG will commence its series of actions
across the country. Fuel prices must go down now to avert
possible increases in goods and services due to the 15%
transport fare increase. Ghanaians expect a realistic
decrease in fuel price, and not a paltry 2% decrease. This
is an insult in the face of lowering international crude oil
price. The lowest in 12years.
Signed
AFAG LEADERSHIP
