Minority wants GH¢1 fuel levy scrapped permanently despite suspension

Ghana’s parliamentary Minority is demanding the permanent abolition of the GH¢1-per-litre fuel levy, arguing that its temporary suspension gives consumers only short-term relief. Collins Adomako-Mensah, Afigya Kwabre East MP and Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament’s Energy Committee, said the suspension does not address the Minority’s objections to the levy’s introduction. Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on Thursday, November 5, he warned that the charge would return after the suspension, which could last one or two months.
