  Kwabena, I visited Ghana in 2004 during the reign of the "Gentle Giant" Kufour, under the NPP banner which I am so proud to be part of.
  
  During that epoch, the price of the Crude OIL was $140. Not forgetting that Ghana was NOT producing a drop of that Important Commodity.
  
  Today, Ghana is among Nations that are blessed enough to produce and Export that same commodity that has added weight to our Foreign Reserve, to help alleviate or reduce sufferings on the masses.
  
  But what we do see is "dumsor" and the likes which have reduced the living standard of the people to the point of mire.
  
  As I write, the prize of that precious commodity is down to almost $30 per Barrel. So you can please tell us why there should be such ridiculous price increases in our vehicular fares called "tro-tro"??
  
  Unless of course you wish to join that AFEDZI guy who happens to be the Chairman of the Parliamentary Finance Committee who recently remarked that people with their private vehicles who wouldn't like to pay the new hikes in the Fuel should rather abandon their vehicles elsewhere and join the tro-tro.
  
  This IDIOT may have assumed that "tro-tro" is powered NOT by Fuel but by Sea Water and Keta School Boys put together.
  
  Unfortunately, OUR COUNTRY GHANA HAS INDEED GONE TO THE DOGS!!!
