Citi Business News<\/strong> indicate that the price of a litre of petrol has gone up between 8 and 11 percent while the same quantity for a litre of diesel has gone up between 9 and 11 percent.<\/p>\nA litre of petrol at some major Oil Marketing Companies \u00a0(OMCs) is now selling between 4 cedis and 4 cedis 15 pesewas.<\/p>\n
Also, the price of a litre of diesel could be sold to you at 4 cedis and 4 cedis 15 pesewas.<\/p>\n
At\u00a0Total filling stations, petrol has been increased by 31 pesewas, with a litre selling at 4 cedis 10 pesewas as against the 3 cedis 79 pesewas in December.<\/p>\n
Also, the price of a litre of diesel has gone up\u00a0by 36 pesewas, currently selling at 4 cedis 15 pesewas from 3 cedis 79 pesewas.<\/p>\n
Shells price per litre of petrol has shot up by 31 pesewas; from 3 cedis 78 pesewas to 4 cedis 10 pesewas.<\/p>\n
Diesel has also increased by 36 pesewas as a litre is now selling at 4 cedis 15 pesewas as against the earlier 3 cedis 79 pesewas.<\/p>\n
Goil has also recorded a price jump\u00a0as their products are now selling at petrol 4 cedis 8 pesewas and diesel also at 3 cedis 99 pesewas.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile SO energy is selling both a litre of petrol and diesel at a new price of 4 cedis.<\/p>\n
Other filling stations also equally\u00a0increased their prices as at the time Citi Business News<\/strong> visited the pumps.<\/p>\nThe OMCs have however dismissed reports that the increases had been made ahead of the two week pricing window.<\/p>\n
According to them,\u00a0the adjustments are within the pricing window frame.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers has expressed dissatisfaction at the development.<\/p>\n
The Chamber\u2019s Executive Secretary, Duncan Amoah tells Citi Business News<\/strong> the persistent increases are worrying.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t think Ghanaians are happy with the sort of increases that we have seen in recent times; before this window, we saw 4-6% increases in prices. Earlier than that there had been some 3-11% increases that was even contested but eventually reflected at the pumps. What we are not happy about is the persistence with which fuel prices are going up in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
He believes government can take up the mandate to ensure prices are reduced.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that the government and the incoming government would have to reconsider the taxes we have on petroleum products in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
