Business News of Friday, 10 April 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comA former Minister of Health, Bernard Okoe Boye, has cautioned that the government’s decision to suspend fuel taxes offers only temporary relief and risks deepening Ghana’s underlying fiscal challenges. Dr Okoe Boye criticised what he described as a recurring pattern in Ghana’s handling of fuel price increases, where governments attempt to shield consumers despite limited fiscal space. He cautioned that absorbing the impact of fuel price increases can mask the true cost of governance and place additional strain on public finances. Dr Okoe Boye also raised concerns about the assumptions behind ongoing revenue reform efforts, suggesting that some projections may be flawed. He stressed that Ghana must prioritise honest budgeting and realistic economic planning instead of politically driven interventions.
