The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) says government's GH¢2 per litre diesel subsidy will provide limited relief for commercial transport operators, insisting that the intervention does not sufficiently address the sharp rise in fuel prices. Deputy Public Relations Officer of the GPRTU, Samuel Amoah, said while the union appreciates government's decision to reduce diesel prices, the current cost of fuel remains significantly higher than when discussions on transport fare adjustments began. Speaking on JoyNews, Mr Amoah recalled that transport operators were asked by the Transport Ministry to suspend plans for a 30% fare increase after government indicated that measures would be introduced to reduce fuel prices. "We were asked to hold on because they promised that government was going to work on the fuel price and that the next price would come down and all that. According to him, the subsidy may only reduce the scale of any future transport fare adjustment rather than eliminate the need for an increase.
