Sammi Awuku questions government over fresh fuel price hikes, demands answers on levy promise

Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, has criticised the government over the latest increase in fuel prices, questioning why Ghanaians continue to shoulder rising costs despite earlier assurances that the Price Stabilisation and Recovery Levy would cushion consumers against fuel price shocks.

Mr Awuku argued that while government may attribute the latest increases to developments on the international oil market, previous pricing trends had raised questions about the effectiveness of the current pricing mechanism.

While acknowledging that no government can directly control international crude oil prices, Mr Awuku maintained that Ghanaians deserved transparency regarding policy commitments.
