\"fuel\"<\/a>Some opposition parties in the country have condemned the consistent increment of fuel prices.<\/p>\n

In compliance with the automatic adjustment formula, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has upwardly revised petroleum prices which took effect on March 1.<\/p>\n

Owing to the increment, the price of petrol has been increased by 6.2 percent.<\/p>\n

It is against this backdrop, the People\u2019s National Convention (PNC), the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP) and the National Democratic Party (NDP) in an interview with Citi News collectively condemned the upward adjustment in fuel prices.<\/p>\n

The PNC\u2019s policy analyst, Atik Mohammed was certain that the increment will deepen the economic hardships Ghanaians are already grappling with.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the midst of all these hardships, the government still has the courage to continue to increase the burden of Ghanaians by way of increasing fuel and for me, they should not think that it is happening only to people in opposition, these increases are affecting businesses and they are affecting individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

He claimed government was running the country like a secret society because \u201cany time the increment is going to be done it is done secretly; this government is now been ran like a secret society, nobody just know what government is doing especially in respect of the increases in fuel prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PPP\u2019s General Secretary, Kofi Asamoah-Siaw described the fuel price increment as government\u2019s insensitivity to the plight of the suffering masses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that Ghanaians cannot be at the receiving end of the hardships and mismanagement of the economy for which reason our cedi has fallen and therefore we have to be called upon to pay more for fuel prices, I think that it is not fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

He admonished government to stop what he termed the propaganda gimmicks and fix the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe earlier we fix this serious economic hardships and mismanagement and make sure that we have a stable currency, the better it will be for all of us. I think that slogans such as the economy is resilient are exposed when we have continuous increases in fuel prices when the world market price of fuel has not changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NDP\u2019s Deputy national communications director, Ernest Owusu Bempah described the fuel prices increment as a mark of bad leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think is so hard and disheartening looking at the living economic condition of ordinary Ghanaians where taxes have been raised and the economy is in jeopardy and now subsequent increases in fuel prices tell you that President Mahama does not care about the ordinary Ghanaian which is a mark of bad leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
