We will continue to engage with Government to reduce fuel price – GPRTU

National Communications Officer of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) Abass Ibrahim Morro has said its members will ensure that the prices of fuel are reduced.

Speaking to the media, Mr. Morro said they are not in a hurry to increase transport fares in the country.

Fuel prices have been on the increase in the last few weeks which had led to complaints about hardships from transport operators.

The National Petroleum Authority last week announced the removal of the Price Stabilization and Recovery Levies (PRSL) on petrol, diesel, and LPG for two months.

The levy is yet to take effect even as the second pricing window commenced, this is because Parliament is yet to give the NPA the approval needed to scrap the levy as it is on recess.

A litre of petrol and diesel is now selling at GH¢6.80 at the various filling stations.

Mr. Morro said they will continue to engage with the government to reduce the price of fuel for drivers to work happily and not to push the burden on the citizens.
