Commercial drivers have pumped the brakes on their planned nationwide strike—at least for now—after a sit-down with the Ministry of Transport on Monday, June 9.
At the heart of the tension? A new GHS1 fuel levy that had drivers ready to park their cars in protest.
Samuel Amoah, spokesperson for the drivers, explained on Citi FM:
“We were told the GHS1 won’t affect prices at the pump. So, for now, we’re holding off.”
According to him, government officials assured them the levy wouldn't translate into higher fuel costs for consumers.
“No price change, no strike. Simple,” Amoah hinted.
But don’t get too comfortable. The strike is only *suspended*, not cancelled.
“If fuel prices go up, we’ll be back with our decision,” Amoah warned.
So while things are calm today, it’s clear the engines are still running—and drivers are watching every move.
