The drivers who work on the Koforidua to Madina, Koforidua to Kumasi, and Koforidua to Kade routes spoke on the one Ghana cedi per litre policy yesterday in Koforidua main lorry station.
Mr. Isaac Okyere, who drives on the Koforidua-Madina stretch, lamented how the new one Ghana cedi per litre policy is going to affect him and further calculated how much he will pay per day, which is 48 Ghc, per week, which is 488 Ghc, in a week 1,152 Ghc, and in a year, which is 13,824 Ghc.
Foster Okyere trotro driver: I've been spending GHC 13,000 over the entire year, and the tax he's implemented isn't helping me. Every day I'm losing rather than gaining. The President needs to take action on this. pic.twitter.com/SiRNeZ3RZB

Mustapha, who also drives from Koforidua to Kumasi, says the number of gallons of fuel he buys a day is too expensive, so the government should redraw the new fuel levy.
Foster Okyere, who also drives from Koforidua to Kade, supported the fuel levy policy and added that the government needs taxes to develop the country and further appealed that the President should reduce from one cedi per litre to one cedi per gallon.

I've been purchasing 28 liters of fuel daily. I’m pleading with the President to help us reduce the fuel price from GHC 1 to GHC 0.50 per liter, or to consider a monthly adjustment. pic.twitter.com/hWW98AqhIv

Isaac Kof: In my opinion, if the President could change the price from 1 cedi per liter to 1 cedi per gallon, it would be a positive step. pic.twitter.com/q0el5vZzOs
