@JD. Next time you come across an NDC member, pull down his pants and salute his manhood! They ain't as bitchy as Wontumi and the likes of you. If Ghanaians voted for foreigners to rule instead of you, 'The Real Owners of Ghana', what does that say about what they think of you? Your stupidity will kill you!

How I wished all miseducated Ghanaians would stop expressing their thoughts on national issues. When I read your insults and name callings I wonder if you read this article and understood it. Why are black people still in bondage of brainwashing of fighting against each other. That's slave mentality.
Don't you people have the mental capacity to attack the issues? You need emancipation to be in a position to make politicians respect us and stop taking us for fools.
Until we start attacking issues rather than persons and parties, the few politicians will keep getting richer while the country standstill.

It’s amazing we still have people who blatantly show their ignorance. With all these educated idiots in Ghana, how can it develop. It’s not a new tax, it’s an increase in existing tax and the build up of the price is currency value depends, we are paying fuel prices of higher currency value amount. The next pricing window won’t go up because the government will take the decrease. Keeping prices same. God stop the media houses from causing more harm than most.

@George. The black man is not innovative that is why we are finding it difficult to incorporate the informal sector into the economy. The incorporation of the informal sector may require implementation of a range of changes including total reorganization of our cities and towns, the tax collection system, discipline, law and order, fight against corruption, civic education, etc, etc.

@George. Neither are the millioners paying property tax. They live and acquire mansions and pay no tax to the state. Here instead, the state is busy chasing the poor to pay tax. Something is basically wrong in the country.

Ghanaians must stop praising Mahama for the dollar devalued.
The U.S. dollar has experienced a significant decline during President Donald Trump's current administration, falling nearly 10% against a basket of major currencies since mid-January 2025 . This depreciation is attributed to a combination of policy decisions and economic factors:

1. Aggressive Trade Policies and Tariffs
The Trump administration's imposition of substantial tariffs on imports from countries such as China, Mexico, and Canada has escalated trade tensions. These protectionist measures have led to market volatility and diminished investor confidence in the dollar . The uncertainty surrounding trade relations has prompted investors to seek alternative currencies, contributing to the dollar's weakness.

2. Fiscal Policies and Rising National Debt
Recent tax cuts and increased government spending have added approximately $3.3 trillion to the national debt, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability . The expanding deficit has led to higher long-term bond yields and a wider term premium, factors that have exerted downward pressure on the dollar.

3. Federal Reserve Policy and Interest Rate Expectations
President Trump has publicly criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not reducing interest rates in response to economic indicators such as slowing job growth and a contracting services sector . While the Fed has maintained rates in the 4.25%–4.5% range, the anticipation of potential rate cuts has contributed to the dollar's depreciation.

4. Investor Sentiment and Market Dynamics
The foreign exchange options market reflects expectations of continued dollar weakness, with increased demand for USD put options indicating bearish sentiment . Investors are reallocating assets toward currencies perceived as more stable, such as the euro and yen, further undermining the dollar's value.

5. Strategic Considerations for Dollar Devaluation
There is speculation that the Trump administration may be pursuing a deliberate strategy to weaken the dollar to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. exports and reduce trade deficits. Proposals such as the "Mar-a-Lago Accord" suggest coordinated efforts to devalue the dollar, reminiscent of the 1985 Plaza Accord .

In summary, the dollar's decline under the Trump administration is the result of aggressive trade policies, expansive fiscal measures, anticipated shifts in monetary policy, and strategic considerations for currency valuation.

Old price of fuel = Gh17 cedis
Current fuel price = Gh 12 cedis + Gh 1 cedis = Gh 13 cedis
17 - 13 = 4
So even with that 1cedis, is still better than before
