So does the government know that there is such thing as "transitional trend"? Then why do they immediately increase the price when the world market price goes up and not wait and study the trend first? Tweaaaaa!!! This govern ...

Kweku M, your question is too complicated for these govt to understand. The "Transitional trend" analysis works in only one direction for them and that's when it comes to increasing or imposing price hike on consumers. They w ...

You don't mean it, Kofi.
Very soon the masses will force you to reduce it.
At least the Government can reduce it by an appreciable percentage to give some respite to the poor people of this country while the Govenmnet recoup some money to pay up the debt. They could at least make the ratio 70:30 or ...

or go home man you got zero support in Ghana now loser
Ghanaian politicians don't learn anything from the past. Similar issue happened during former President Kufour's tenure and this made the government at the time unpopular. I think this government is only repeating the same mi ...

a word to a wise is enought
Next time you should also wait and study the transitional trend before you increase, incase the prices went up again. How can you say this?
THE GOVT WOULD HAVE INCREASED THE PRICES OF FUEL IF THE PRICE AT THE INTERNATIONAL MARKED HAD BEEN INCREASED. THIS GOVT IS INSENSITIVE TO THE PLIGHT OF THE PEOPLE OF GHANA. AND THEY CLAIM TO BE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS. HYPOPCRISY.
Efo,NDC must go BUT there is NO other party apart from the cocaine guys,that is the problem.So let them stay and we "WHIP" them to reason.
The cocaine guys are much better than NDC.Which one policy has NDC come up with since coming to power?They've only made things worse.Atleast NPP came up with NHIS,school feeding,NYEP now GYEEDA whilst NDC has come up with cre ...

You would pay very dearly for this insensitive comment.
Nana is easy chop for JM in 2016
It would be understandable if the Minister had even said something like they had already bought crude oil at previous higher prices and therefore could not reduce prices for now..........

God will punish you and Nd c brothers one by one.do you guys think is only poverty that is punishment.your ending days you guys will suffer.we Ghanians we are suffering already.your time go come.wait and see
Our leaders have failed us big time and i feel ashamed as a Ghanaian
Isn`t it the same NDC who,when in opposition accused the Government of Kuffour of being insensitive to Ghanaians,when they increased fuel prices,at a time when a barrel was selling at 147,00Dollars?
Today,the same Barrel is ...

We read this nonsense from where? Crude prizes went as far as 147 dollars during President kuffours time. Prizes dropped with time. Faced with the challenges during the peak of the increment, he decided to keep to the old pri ...

When prices are rising it is auautomatic adjustment but when prices are reducing the government decides what to do
Mr. Minister, your excuses are completely illogical. Do you study the market trend before you increase ex-pump prices if price of crude oil on the world market goes up and the Cedi depreciates? Give us a break.
Were upward oil prices also transitional since they have come down now. This logic is unacceptable if we claim that NPA is to set fuel prices based on world market price. Cedi has also strengthened by 20% so how no reductio ...

if you fail to reduce the price you are going to sink because you convince people that you are dancing at the tone of world market price of crude oil !!
Evil thieves, idiots and greedy bastards in government, even here in the states fuel prices have been reduced drastically, bcos u guys want to still states money that's why u're doing this, God will punish you all.Bastards.

“The reduction in the price of oil and the appreciation of the cedi are transitional trends, which we cannot just rely on to make decisions.so the appreciation of the cedi also is transition thing? mr kofi buah.
If u are on top of your job u won't need that much time to "fully study" the tread to decide a reduction in fuel prices, yet not much time is required for upwards adjustment of these prices Week minds at work.....
Ghanains this is to show you how greedy your leaders are,official get free fuel allocation to their fellow thiefs who are none officials I know someone that reallocate his to a girl friend.So how can people like this be conce ...

"Head I win; tail you lose" (until election year). That is what the government is telling Ghanaians

That is really a foolish talk. When the prices increase the govt increases it immediately but when its time to reduce it they take their time. They should subsidize it when the price increases. This doesn't need any studying ...

Fuel prices and electricity tariffs need to be reduced, because that is the purpose of the automatic price adjustment formula. The taxpayer is obviously paying for the war chest of the Mahama NDC gov't for 2016, because anyth ...

this is treasonable offends , and the minister must be punish by law.
of not obeying the laws of the land.
his actions is total disrespect to parlimentary orders
Pump price should be detated by world market price, Ghana is not in a different planet, thieves.
Hon Minister, I am sorry this time round for you. For the same reasoning, can I say that the increase in crude oil prices on the world market is also transitional and cannot be relied on to make decisions? I doubt if your exp ...
