TARRIFFS SHOOTS UP; GHANAIANS CRY. KONADU AGYEMANG ATTACKS MAHAMA
The woes of Ghanaians just got bigger as the Public Utility
Regulatory Commission PURC, on Monday 7th December 2015 announced an
increase in tariffs. The said increment
is to take effect from 14th December 2015.
The never reliable electricity couldn’t have gotten any
worse; as electricity tariffs was shot up as high as 59.2%. This is surely a
fulfillment of the “if you want quality, then prepare to pay more” statement
released by the president some weeks ago. Water was however no exemption, as it
saw a whopping 67.2% tariffs increment.
