Government must go beyond short-term fuel relief – COPEC

However, Mr Amoah stressed that the relief comes at a cost to government and should therefore be accompanied by measures aimed at finding lasting solutions to fuel price pressures.

The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) has urged the government to look beyond temporary interventions to cushion consumers against rising fuel prices.“Whilst government continues to mitigate the plight of the Ghanaian, we should also be thinking medium- to long-term solutions to these persistent increases in fuel prices,” he said on Monday, August 31.
