GH¢2 diesel price cut offers little relief to Ghanaians - Miracles Aboagye
Dennis Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, argued that the government's GH¢2 reduction in diesel prices does not provide meaningful relief to Ghanaians. His comments followed President John Dramani Mahama's directive on August 3, 2026, to reduce the price of diesel by GH¢2 per litre in response to recent fuel price increases. Speaking to Citi FM, Mr. Aboagye stated, "The question is not about how much he is removing. It is what impact the two cedis is making in the global picture."
Mr. Aboagye maintained that fuel remains more expensive than it was when the current administration assumed office. He argued that despite the reduction, fuel prices are still a major driver of high transport fares and the rising cost of goods and services. He also questioned why fuel prices remain elevated despite improvements in key economic indicators such as inflation and the exchange rate. Mr. Aboagye said the government should be assessed against its promises to reduce the cost of living for Ghanaians.
