00 per litre reduction in diesel prices; the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Bill, 2026, passed by Parliament on Friday 31 July; and the World Bank's downgrade of Ghana's Energy Sector Recovery Program," he said.

Demands and Proposals The NPP put forward a series of demands to the government, including: Publication of the full petroleum price build-up and the financing source before implementation Capping of the intervention at a disclosed fiscal amount with weekly reporting on litres subsidised and revenue foregone Targeted relief for public transport, food distribution, agriculture, and fishing rather than an indefinite universal subsidy Application of automatic sunset clauses with objective crude price and exchange rate triggers Prompt payment of industry claims to prevent the relief from becoming the next generation of arrears The party also outlined a four-front strategy, including filing urgent parliamentary questions, tracking and publishing energy sector levy collections, engaging transport unions and consumer groups, and proposing a transparent, rules-based shock-response framework.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has challenged the government over its GH¢2 per litre diesel reduction, demanding answers on how the intervention is being financed and questioning the broader impact of energy sector levies on Ghanaians.
