You're a crook! What free economy? Do you know what would happen if hospitals and pharmacies also decided to do what they like in the name of free economy? Some of you shouldn't even have a smartphone.

Have you forgotten that most Ghanaians only believe in the "free" part of free economy. Look at the tax rolls if you don't believe me.

We are all part that's why this country is not moving forward. You brought the people to town in the morning with the right fares and change it in the evening and you're here supporting them?

Pro bono Lawyer to do what please? Lorry fares have been announced but you decide to do the direct opposite. You don't condemned their behaviour but calling for lawyers assistance?

I look forward to all trotro and taxi drivers going on strike during the holidays. Ghanaians are just too greedy for words. Basic economics is pushing up the price.

- Supply has decreased because drivers also want to enjoy the holiday.
- Demand has increased because customers want to travel to shop, attend parties, and visit others.

Only an ignorant fool or greedy beggar believes the drivers should bear that burden alone. My drivers are thrilled that I double the fee and tack on extra during events. My husband called one last Friday night at 2:15am because our son had a medical emergency. We live in a remote area, but he had our son at the hospital in less than 30-minutes because he knows we pay well.

I bet the market people complaining the loudest are raising their prices. Prove me wrong.

So, is it the mayor that bought the vehicles for them. How can the govt arbitrarily increase fuel price and turn round to restrict fair prices. Over to you commercial drivers. Next time when voting be wise
