Press Release
AFAG
October 15, 2014
OIL PRICES DECLINE:
STOP RIPPING GHANAIANS OFF
With the world oil prices of crude fast
declining from an average of $109 per barrel
in January to $81.14 per barrel as of
October 14 2014, it is expected of
Government and for that matter it's agency
the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to
announce to Ghanaians, the reduction in the
prices of petrol and it's related products.
When we consider the haste with which the
NPA increase fuel prices during world oil
price upsurge, AFAG wonders why, government
has not shown similar faith with respect to
the fast declining prices of crude oil on
the international market over the past 3
months.
If the cedi is indeed appreciating against
the major currencies (i.e. falling from 3.8
to 3.1/ $), why on earth must we be
undermined by Government. We consider this
behavior of government as Sub-human and
disrespectful.
However, Ghanaians acknowledge that, the NDC
government in its desperate attempt to make
up for lost revenue as a result of massive
and well organized corruption under
President Mahama, is leaving no stone
unturned to deprive us of our livelihood
through over taxation. We are sick and tired
of this high level insensitivity
demonstrated by the NDC led John Mahama
government.
Paradoxically, in 2008 when the world oil
prices surged from an average of $60 per
barrel to $140 per barrel, a gallon of
petrol was 3.50 pesewas in Ghana. However,
in 2014 amidst oil production, and with
world oil prices of crude less than $82 as
of now, Ghanaians are buying a gallon of
petrol at over 15 Ghana cedis. This is
rather ridiculous.
AFAG considers this development as a
rip-off. The deafening silence by the
president is shockingly inappropriate. Mr.
President, show some leadership and concern
here. Ghanaians need an economic lifeline.
We want fuel price reduction now!!!! Life in
Ghana is hell.
