Some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have increased the price of fuel by about 10 pesewas. A litre of petrol is currently being sold at about GH₵6.90 at most fuel vending stations.
In the midst of the upward adjustments, the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has urged drivers not to increase lorry fares.
These developments have made drivers agitated. They have stated their unpreparedness to continue to put up with the high cost of fuel.
Sixteen driver unions are demanding that government scraps some taxes on petroleum products otherwise they will withdraw their services on Thursday at 3:00pm.
JoyNews' Evans Mensah hosted the following guests; Spokesperson of GPRTU, Imoro Abass, General Manager of VIP Jeoun Transport Service, Adakabre Frimpong Manso, Member of Ghana Road Transport Coordinating Council, Kwesi Kwakye, PRO of National Concerned Drivers Association, David Agboado and Energy Analyst, Kweku Poku to discuss the impending crisis of fuel price hikes and transport crisis.
