Business News of Friday, 20 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Executive Director of the Africa Sustainable Energy Centre (ASEC), Justice Ohene-Akoto, has called for the removal of the one-cedi fuel levy on petroleum products, saying it places an unnecessary burden on ordinary Ghanaians. Removing the one-cedi levy on petroleum products is an important step to providing some relief to households struggling with high fuel prices,” he said. The one-cedi levy, introduced under the Energy Sector Levy Amendment Act of 2025, was originally intended to support the procurement of liquid fuels and reduce legacy debts in the sector. His comments add to ongoing discussions about balancing the financial needs of Ghana’s energy sector with the need to protect consumers. As fuel prices continue to rise and debates over the one-cedi levy intensify, Ghanaians are watching closely for government action.
