Ghana: Gov’t Cuts Fuel Coupons To Appointees By 50%

The Government of Ghana has announced that fuel coupons to all appointees will be cut by 50 per cent beginning from April 1, 2022.

Ghana’s Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori Atta, who announced this last Thursday, said the difficult economic times the country finds itself require stringent actions to alleviate the hardship on Ghanaians.

Addressing the nation on measures being taken by the government to curb the economic challenges, Ofori-Atta said the decision would also affect heads of state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

“These times call for very efficient use of energy resources. In line with this, there will be a 50 per cent cut in fuel coupon allocations for all political appointees and heads of government institutions, including SOEs, effective 1 April 2022.”
