The managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako Jnr is appealing to government to 'meet' Ghanaians 'halfway' with recent fuel price increments.
According to reports, a litre of both petrol and diesel, goes for GHc4.62 at some major fuel stations.
The Institute of Energy Security (IES), had earlier predicted that prices of fuel may go up by 2 percent in the first pricing window in February, between February 2, 2018, and February 15, 2018.
The IES further attributed the development to the constant rise in crude oil prices which is currently selling at 69 dollars per barrel on the international market, among other factors.
Scores of commercial drivers and various unions hit the street of Accra few days ago to demonstrate against persistent increases in prices of petroleum products.
The demonstration, which was organized by the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) in collaboration with the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU), is to force the ruling government to reduce taxes on petroleum products.
Speaking to this during a panel discussion on Joy FM's Newsfile programme, Kweku Baako said the Akufo-Addo administration should "have the willingness to meet the people halfway"
“I want to appeal to government…those out there truly feel something and are not just talking by heart…I want to be pragmatic about it. Government has the capacity and must have the willingness to meet the people halfway and deal with the issues by bringing solutions on board. If you look at our Budget statement of 2016 and 2017 the country’s growth rate of 3.6 was hugely attributable to a huge drop in the petroleum sector" he said.

Mr. Bako the NPP communicator is also appealing to his paymaster, don't u know that your boss is able to pay your fat salary because of high cost of fuel, if u ask them to reduce the fuel, your salary will also be slashed, by the way how much is your pay Kweku? Complete hypocrite!
NANA ADDO PLEASE HEED THE ADVISE OF KWAKU BAAKO. DO NOT INCREASE FUEL PRICES, AT LEAST NOT NOW. IT WILL BE THE WISEST THING TO DO! A WORD TO THE WISE....?
INCOMPETENT NPP
MY DISSENTING VIEW ON THIS MATTER IS SIMPLE, THERE ARE TOO MANY VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. IF THE OWNERS CAN'T AFFORD IT THEY SHOULD JUST PARK AND RIDE LIKE I DO. TRULY WHY BUY FUEL ON THE WAY TO WORK, WASTE IT IN TRAFFIC, PARK IT FOR 8 HOURS, MOVE IT AND WASTE IT AGAIN IN TRAFFIC ON YOUR WAY HOME. CRASS ***barred word*** ACT AFTER WHICH YOU COMPLAIN. FUEL IS REALLY BEING WASTED THAT IS MY TAKE AND EXCEPT FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE THE PRIVATE CAR OWNERS CAN GO BUNKERS WHO CARES. WE IMPORT SO MUCH FUEL THAT IS WHY THAT IS WHY SOON EVERYONE WILL OWN A VEHICLE.
supported my boss. Govt shd do something about it. I know we have the brains to work thins out for the betterment of the ple and we look forward to that. I know govts hand could sometimes be tied and may have little or no option but we need to do something abt the fuel prices. let us not behave like those cr1m1nals (ndc) who will not listen to anyone. Mr Baako I know they will listen to you so pls keep reminding them for us.
