Audio Attachment:Listen to Kwesi Pratt Jnr. on |
Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. has appealed to the Akufo-Addo administration to review the fuel price hikes.
Peacefmonline.com checks indicate that fuel prices have increased about three times since inception of the NPP government in January this year.
By September 2017, petrol is reportedly selling at an average of GHC 4.29 at the pumps and diesel selling for an average price of GHC 4.23 per litre.
Following the increases, bus and taxi drivers have complained bitterly pleading with the government to reduce the prices to ease their situation.
They have also threatened a nationwide protest next week if the government fails to heed their demands.
Addressing the issue on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Mr. Pratt empathized with the drivers saying the fuel price hikes are a burden on consumers, particularly drivers, in the country and if not adjusted will affect the livelihood of the consumers.
He urged the government to pay attention to the drivers' grievances since any action by them would affect the economy.
He noted that should the drivers embark on a demonstration, commuters and workers will have difficulties getting to the destinations.
Mr. Pratt therefore has asked the government to negotiate with fuel consumers to reach a consensus.

Ghana is not an island. The world prices determines how much you buy crude. At least some taxes are off unless it would have been worst.
Kwasi ***barred word***, is a hypocrite, when fuel prices went down.on the world market and Ghanaians expected the Mahama government of which he was a part, they rather added more taxes to take up the reduction that should have benefited Ghanaians, this evil man didn't ask his government to reduce fuel prices, now that the prices have gone up on the world market, he is back with his ***barred word*** agenda again. Sham3 on you kwasi ***barred word***.
Hmmm and they promised to bring down fuel prices oo. Lies lies lies, that's what is killing this country
This man is a disgr.ace to his family. I listened to him on peacefm and felt soo embarrassed for him. A senior journalist indeed.. and that nana yaw kesse was allowing him to continuing embarrassing himself. We the discerning Ghanaians prefer buying ffuel at higher price under the npp to your so called ndc crim.I. nals. .he should better a s. Hut his stinkin.g mouth..
This corrupt, wicked, nation wrecker never ceases to embarrass himself.Indeed this is what he knows best... mischief, lies and malice.We didn't hear him when his corrupt,incompetent and nation looter NDC gov't increased fuel price even though world cruel oil price was stable,due to the fact that he was on their payroll and his children had been given descent employment by promiscuous Mahama.Ghanaians are now aware of how dangerous he and Bernard Mornah are.Their cup will certainly be full one day.
Hypocrisy at its best. This is the job you know how to do best. Keep doing the job that pays you.
What a ***barred word*** charlatan. This Kwesi Pratt knows no shame. Now that your favorite radio station, Radio Gold has been closed you're back with bended knee spewing trash. Where were you, when oil were sold at $20 a barrel but cost GHC 4:00 per liter the during your corrupt NDC reign. Now that there's a change in govt.a and oil is been sold $60.00 per barrel and the price at the pump has gone up accordingly, you back to your old ***barred word*** trick. Did you tell John Mahama govt., where your bread were buttered on both sides, to reduce fuel price a even when a barrel was sold about $20.00 at the world market? What a ***barred word*** charlatan!!!
Where was this ***barred word*** when NDC was putting fuel prices up every three days?
