No excuse for delay in GHS1 fuel levy report - MP fires government [Audio]
Collins Adomako-Mensah, Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North, questioned government over delays in submitting a mandatory report on the Energy Sector Levy (GHS1 levy). He said the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, 2025 required government to submit a report to Parliament on the use of the levy by March 31, 2026. He stated, "The law was very clear that by March 31, 2026, government was supposed to bring a report on the usage of the GHS1 levy. As we speak, that report has not been submitted."
Mr. Adomako-Mensah, who also serves as Deputy Ranking Member on the Energy Committee, said he had personally reminded the Energy and Finance Ministers about the requirement. He added, "I have called on the Energy Minister and the Finance Minister to provide the details as required by law. I even posted on my Facebook page to remind them." He insisted that Parliament being on recess does not prevent compliance with the law. He also expressed surprise that government waited for COMAC to call for this disclosure.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State for Government Communications, announced plans to suspend some fuel taxes and margins following a Cabinet meeting on April 9, 2026. He said the move is intended to cushion consumers following recent fuel price increases linked to global tensions involving the United States, Iran, and Israel.
