According to Mr. John Abdulai Jinapor, a member of the minority caucus in the Ghanaian parliament and the member for the Northern Region’s Yapei Kusawgu constituency, fuel prices increased by over 200 percent (200%) between January 1 and November 1, 2022.
He maintains that there is no explanation for the enormous increase that Ghanaians are seeing at the various gas stations.
On the GTV Breakfast Show, he made this comment during a segment titled “Minority’s Take on President Akufo Addo’s -Nationally Televised Address on Sunday, October 30, 2022.”
Mr. John Jinapor explained that crude prices on the international market have been stable for some time, however, due to the free fall of the Cedi, fuel prices keep going up every minute.
“So to have a 200% increment in fuel prices within 10 months is unprecedented and unacceptable. Increments in fuel products have a cascading effect on everything” he added.
The Yapei Kusawgu lawmaker, stated that everybody in Ghana today, knows that there are real economic issues.
