National Coordinator of the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP), Nii Lante Vanderpuye, has thrown his support behind the rollout of the GH₵1 per litre fuel levy introduced by the new government, calling it a vital measure to address Ghana's power-related debt and improve energy sustainability.
Vanderpuye noted that the fuel levy, if properly implemented, could bring much-needed stability to the economy. "I think all of us sat here and agreed that it is a good move if it will continue to make the economy better and make the prices of fuel stay or even lower.
I think it was suspended for a reason," he said on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV on Thursday.
The GH₵1 per litre fuel levy, which took effect this month, is part of a broader fiscal strategy by the new administration to tackle legacy debts in the energy sector, improve fuel supply logistics, and support the cost of generating power-especially through thermal plants.
