The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has questioned the government’s planned GH¢2 per litre reduction in diesel prices, saying the measure is temporary and does not fully offset the increase in fuel prices over the past year and a half. Mr Oppong Nkrumah said the reduction “cushions part of the increase that has already happened” but does not reverse it. The NPP criticised the Energy Sector Levies (Amendment) Act, saying the government imposed an additional GH¢1 levy on every litre of petroleum products in June 2025. Mr Oppong Nkrumah also referred to a recent World Bank assessment that downgraded Ghana’s Energy Sector Recovery Programme from “Moderately Satisfactory” to “Unsatisfactory”. Mr Oppong Nkrumah said the NPP would pursue the matter in Parliament by filing urgent questions on the financing of the diesel relief and the continued application of the GH¢1 fuel levy.
