The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has rebuffed reports that transportation fares will go up from Monday, October 25, 2021.
According to the General Secretary for GPRTU, Godfred Abulbira Adogma, the union is still in talks with the government to scrap some levies placed on petroleum.[ads2]
“We have not said anywhere that lorry fares will be increased on Monday. We have tabled out certain things with the Ministry, but when the discussions fail, we will have no option than to adjust our fares to cushion us from the new prices of fuel” he told Citi FM.
“So the issue of a specific date of Monday is something we are all surprised. Government should really look at the fuel taxes and remove them because it is not helping.”[ads5]
