The NDC National Chairman has stated that the GH¢1 fuel levy, suspended due to potential oil price increases, will be implemented after the Middle East ceasefire.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah defended the levy as necessary to address the energy sector’s debt crisis despite public backlash.
"With the recent ceasefire dropping oil prices back to pre-levy levels, I'm sure the levy will return," the NDC chairman stated in an interview with Joy News on Wednesday [June 25].
He further argued that even with the GH¢1 addition, fuel prices would remain significantly lower than the GH¢17.5 cedis per litre inherited from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
"If export prices dropped from GH¢17.5 cedis to GH¢10 or GH¢11, adding a GH¢1 levy brings it to GH¢12, still lower than GH¢17.5," he said.
