The Committee for Joint Action (CJA) says it will resist any attempt by government to increase fuel prices.According to a leading member of the group, Bernard Mornah, the increases will deepen the hardships of the ordinary Ghanaian, a situation the group will not allow to happen.Crude oil is selling at $65 per barrel, the highest in four months, and the possibility of price hikes at the local pumps appear inevitable.Already there have been mixed signals by government and the National Petroleum Authority over who bears the cost of the price increases.Deputy Energy Minister, Dr. Kwabena Donkor has recommended a full cost recovery to allow for government to channel the resources into other development activities. But the head of NPA, Alex Mould, says government will bare the cost of the increases which will be announced anytime this week.In an interview with Joy News, Mornah cautioned government not to repeat the mistakes of the erstwhile NPP administration which deregulated the petroleum sector.He said increases in petroleum products negatively affect all facets of the lives of the ordinary man and the CJA will not accept the passage of increases of crude oil on the world market onto the consumers.Asked what the CJA will do if government increases the prices of the commodity, Mornah said the group will meet to take a decision.Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline
