Price surge exposing NDC gov'ts dishonesty -Titus Glover
Titus Nii Kwartei Glover, former Deputy Transport Minister and Member of Parliament for Tema East, accused the NDC government of dishonesty on Monday, April 6, on JoyNews AM Show. Mr. Glover argued that the recent surge in fuel prices has exposed inconsistencies in its earlier claims while in opposition. Mr. Glover referenced remarks by President John Dramani Mahama, who questioned the link between the conflict and fuel price increases in Ghana, saying, "At the time, he said that if Ukraine and Russia are fighting, we are here in Ghana, about 7,000 kilometres away, and when they are throwing bombs, none have landed here. So for him, he was not going to believe what we were saying."
Mr. Glover said the opposition at the time downplayed the impact of global events, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war, on domestic fuel prices. He also took issue with what he described as premature credit-taking by the government when global crude prices declined. He argued that the current rise in prices, partly influenced by tensions in the Middle East, underscores the role of external factors beyond the control of any government.
Mr. Glover concluded by calling for honesty in political communication, urging leaders to acknowledge the influence of external economic forces. He stated, "Now that prices are going up again, there is no magic. The sincerity is what I am trying to address here. Let us, as politicians, admit the truth when we are communicating to our people."
