Speaking on Channel One TV, Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, “In this period where we are enjoying some joy from the fact that the price of fuel has slumped from 16 to under 12 cedis. This is the time when we are asking Ghanaians to make some sacrifices, such as a cedi, to keep the power on.

“If we don’t, and we say let us continue with the merry making, let’s continue enjoying the benefit of the prudent economic measures that have brought the fuel down, We don’t prepare for tomorrow as the ant does; what will happen is that in the next few days, amid our enjoyment, we will be hit by the reality of dumsor,” he added.

However, President John Dramani Mahama has stated the energy sector levy won’t increase fuel prices.

John Mahama revealed that the ₵1 ‘dumsor levy’ was a difficult but necessary decision.

He asserted that the  ₵1 energy sector levy won’t result in an increase in fuel prices.

According to John Mahama, Ghana must take advantage of recent gains created by appreciation in the value to accelerate solutions to our energy sector challenges.

Speaking at the Jubilee House on Tuesday during the presentation of the final report of the National Economic Dialogue 2025, John Mahama stated, “This was not a decision we took lightly. Though difficult, it is necessary and justifiable.”

He added, “ We must take advantage of recent gains created by appreciation in the value of our currency to accelerate the solution to our energy sector challenges”.
