Member of Parliament (MP) for Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party, Sylvester Tetteh, says he has stopped using his V8 vehicles due cost of fuel.
The Member of Parliament complained about the increases in fuel prices which has influenced him to use his mother’s low consumption.
He says, the rising cost of fuel is unbearable, affecting almost all sectors of the economy.
Speaking on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” programme, Hon. Sylvester Tetteh noted that, even as a Parliamentarian, he is greatly affected by the fuel prices that he has now decided to park his car.
According to him, he has been spending about GHC 2000 to fuel his V8 vehicle but cannot do it again.
So, “I’ve parked my V8 and using my mother’s car. I can’t afford the petrol price. With the V8, I buy fuel at 2000 cedis every week. It means every month, I’m spending 8000 cedis just on petrol. My salary cannot even cover that, so I have parked my car and now using a car that I don’t have to spend that much on petrol,” he stated.
Commodity prices and transport fares have all shot up as a result of the unstable fluctuations in the prices of petrol.
The increases in the prices of fuel products have affected food, transport, and general cost of living in the country.
