Don't pander to the ugly noises and take any panic decisions, Mr. President. We Ghanaians like sifter life too much. Reducing any Levy or tax now on petroleum has counter effects. Let the market dictate the prices. What you should focus on is getting more of the Ayalolo buses on the city roads, regulate the use smaller and shanty trotros in the inner cities, and improve on roads. If you reduce these taxes and levies, Ghanaians will still demand these same things and more from you. Let the people see more of what you're using the money for and not pander too much to the choreographed noise for easy life.

Ghana govt shd NOT be involved in any Commercial Transport biz. So much has been invested in public transport by the govt and gone waste.Let Ghana govt ban Trotro operations in our cities to create a good environment for private companies to take over Public Commercial Transport biz. It's been done elsewhere and it can be implemented here in Ghana e.g. VIP. A modern public Commercial Transport with mass buses would have cushioned passengers from the pain of this global energy crisis.

K. Kusi, John Mahama is absolutely empty. When his cabinet met during the cocoa price reduction on the world market, what concrete decision came out of it?

Remember the Senchi Accord. Name something practical that Mahama and his team implemented when they wasted the taxpayer's money to hold that meeting.

If you see Mahama as a sound leader, I feel sorry for you.

iSPEAK, you're very silly! Think before you write. When the twin external disasters of Russia-Ukraine war and global COVID -19 broke out and Ghana (like the rest of the world) was feeling the heat, Mahama and his NDC then in opposition said Russia and Ukraine were far away from Ghana and so a war there could not impact prices in Ghana.

Hence they claimed Akuffo Addo's govt couldn't manage the country that's why they were using the Russia-Ukraine war as a subterfuge to cover up their incompetence.

Stupid iSPEAK, now tell us how far Ghana is from Iran!!! Kwasea gyimini next time think before you talk, and stop talking from your anus!!! Aboabi ba kwa!!

President Mahamudu Bawumia & NAPO would have taken a drastic measure in banning Trotros in our cities and introduced a mass modern public transport. Passengers would have gotten the opportunity to use Discounted Prepaid Bus Cards to board those buses. Bawumia's digitalisation would have been implemented in our transport industry. Imagine students and workers on board of those modern buses with free WIFI. Definitely NDC"s GPRTU would never allow for these Dr Mahamudu Bawumia''s modern ideas.

Ghana in a better situation
So called Professors doing politics must give us facts
So much political noise
NPP NDC must be tracked
All over the world governments reacting to crisis what is Ghana doing
Rising oil prices
Fertiliser prices going up
May be increased logistics cost because we are an import driven economy
We also benefit a bot from rising Oil Price
So much noise without facts

THESE EMERGENCY MEETINGS ARE BECOMING A TREND IN MAHAMA'S SECOND COMING.

IS HE ON TOP OF THINGS?

IT APPEARS HE IS ONLY REACTING TO THINGS.

I CAN SEE SOME DISCREPANCIES AND INCONSISTENCIES IN THE SWAY MAHAMA IS CURRENTLY RULING.

WHAT HE SAYS DOES NOT MATCH ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE ON THE GROUND.

CORRUPTION IS STILL RAMPANT ONE AND HALVE YEARS INTO OFFICE.

THE ORAL HAVE CONVERTED TO OPAL---OPERATION PROTECTING ALL LOOTERS.--OPAL.

THE NDC WOULD ONLY LET THE NPP LOOTERS GO SCOT FREE IF THEY THEMSELVES ARE LOOTING AND FOR THAT FEAR ANY FUTURE PUNISHMENT THEMSELVES,

THAT IS THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR THE NDC REFUSAL OR FAILURE TO BRING THESE LOOTERS TO FAVE JUSTICE.

THE BEWS WE ARE WAKING UP TO AT THE PUBLIC ACCOUNT HEARING IS UNBELIEVABLE. WE SAY WE ARE GHANA. WE WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO RESPECT US, YET WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A COMPUTERIZED INFORMATION SYSTEM IN OUR MINISTRIES TO FORESTALL CORRUPT ACCOUNTING BY CORRUPT ACCOUNTANTS AND THEIR SENIOR OFFICIALS, INCLUDING STATE MINISTER, FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MANUAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS THAT ARE PRONE TO ERROR AND CORRUPTION.

THERE IS STILL WIDESPREAD ABUSE IN THE PUBLIC SYSTEM.

IF MAHAMA WANTS TO BE RESPECTED AS THE ONE WHO HEKPED SANITIZED THE PUBLIC SYSTEM, THEN GE IS PLAYING.

NO ONE CAN FOOL GHANAIANS.

How about you make EV cars duty free to promote and save the use of imported fuel. Why cant we think far ? Those who want to drive fuel cars can continue to pay ths levies.

Kwaku Tee,public transport is a necessity but a simpler short-term solution to the trotro is for the government to import 20 to 70 seater mini buses for sale to the private sector through their unions (GPRTU etc) with the unions as guarantors on a work and pay basis.In the long term Neoplan can be revived to start production of buses as it used to do.
