A communications team member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Felix Osafo Marfo, has stated emphatically that government does not set fuel prices under the new regulations as speculated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He said this when he joined Kwaku Dawuro on Movement In The Morning Show.
Speaking he said that ”someone once asked why government allows the increase of fuel prices. In 1980, the government of Ghana argued to de-regulation. Prior to that, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) sets fuel prices. After the introduction of the de-regulation system, OMCC now sets the prices of fuel. NDC’s are going appoint claiming government is the one who sets the fuel price-its never true”.
He added that the de-regulated system does not permit government to set fuel prices.
