Just In: Hundreds ignore social distancing as they gather to receive food from NADMO in Asokwa

Published

Hundreds of underprivileged people have gathered today in Asokwa Kumasi to receive food being distributed by the National Disaster Management Organisation( NADMO) as part of government measures to cushion the vulnerable in this lockdown period.

The people jostled to get their fair share of the food as officials from the organization and security agencies tried unsuccessfully to maintain order, let alone observe social distancing.

Government imposed a lockdown in Greater Kumasi and its surrounding areas over two weeks ago as part of drastic measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
But even with the lockdown in force, some people have ignored other measures key to fighting the pandemic such as maintaining social distancing and regular hand washing under running water with soap.
Distribution of food by philanthropists and government agents has been done largely in total disregard for the social distancing protocols proposed by experts to stem the spread of the virus.
Many have condemned the disorderly nature of the distribution of food and other essentials to the vulnerable and underprivileged, insisting that it could become an avenue for the spread of the virus…

Fares will be automatically adjusted against the increase in fuel prices – GPRTU (See Details)

The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced that prices will automatically be adjusted whenever petrol prices increase by 10%.

The union says a 15% increase in transportation costs will be repeated whenever fuel prices reach 10%.

Richard Yaw Amankwah, GPRTU’s Deputy Secretary-General for Operations, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the union’s decision to estimate transportation costs and fuel prices was intended to benefit the industry.

“We have said that whenever the cost of petrol increases by 10% or more, we will increase fares,” he said.

“We are still looking at the cost. We are just wasting our time. “The same amount will be spent on travel expenses when it reaches 10%,” he told GNA.

On March 1, 2022, the prices of the previous petrol and diesel pump prices increased by 30 liters per liter, to GHC 8.20.
Some market experts predict that if nothing is done to reduce the cedi value of the dollar against the dollar, petrol prices could rise to GHC9.0 a liter.

The price volatility of petroleum products is due to the continued increase of Brent Crude in international markets.

The Institute for Energy Security (IES) predicted a 4% increase in petrol and diesel prices this week, citing cedi performance against the dollar as a major factor.

The IES has ruled that cedi is down 4.11 percent to close GHC6.85 to the dollar in the previous price window.

The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) also predicts that prices for petrol, diesel and LPG by 4.6%, 3.4% and 2.5% will increase by 2.5% from March 1, 2022.

In the First Price Window of March 2022, it predicted that petrol and diesel would be GHC8.190 a liter and LPG would be GHC9.163 per kilogram.

Addressing Parliament, the Speaker urged Members of Parliament to show leadership in these difficult times. ”

“This is not to discourage the committee from carrying out its duties. If nothing is done within the next three months, the government may not be able to pay the salaries. ”

“So we have to take the leaders. We have to do a lot of things,” he said.
