Commercial drivers in Kasoa have expressed their appreciation for the recent drop in fuel prices, attributing it to the policies implemented during the first 120 days of President John Mahama’s administration.
Many are now calling on the government to sustain the gains made to ensure lasting relief for the transport sector.
Speaking to Atinka TV News, several drivers noted that their daily operations have become more cost-effective.
One driver, popularly known as Bless, explained that prior to 2025, GHC300 worth of fuel could barely last a day. Now, with the price reduction, GHC200 is sufficient for his daily rounds.
Other drivers echoed similar experiences, emphasizing how the lower fuel costs are helping them save money and better manage their businesses.
However, Moses Antwi, Vice Chairman for the Kumasi-Nkawkaw Station, raised concerns about some filling stations not fully reflecting the reduced fuel prices. He urged authorities to clamp down on such illegal practices and ensure that the benefits of the price drop reach all drivers. Antwi also appealed to the government to work towards aligning spare parts prices with the cedi’s recent gains against the US dollar.
The drivers urged the government to remain vigilant and continue implementing policies that stabilize fuel prices and improve conditions in the transport sector.
