Energy Analyst, Kwadwo Poku, has accused the government of misleading Ghanaians over the true cost of the recently approved petroleum levy, stating that the actual figure is GH¢2.00 per litre, not the GH¢1.00 that has been publicly communicated.
Speaking on JoyNews' AM Show, Mr Poku explained that the combined impact of existing and new levies adds up to almost GH¢2.00 on each litre of petrol and diesel. "The government is collecting GH¢2, not GH¢1.
According to the budget, they had already introduced 95 pesewas.
With this new addition, the total levy is ¢1.95 on petrol and ¢1.93 on diesel," he said.
