Diversion and mismanagement of premix fuel distribution appear to have peaked – Mahama

Former President John Dramani Mahama has criticized the Akufo-Addo government for how premix fuel is being managed.

He noted that during his administration, premix fuel was distributed judiciously.

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) said these during an interaction with fisherfolk in Axim, in the Western Region, as part of his “Building Ghana We Want” tour on Sunday December 17 after some fisherfolk raised concerns that they do not get premix fuel for fishing.

He said “When we were in power, we set up the landing beach committee, and at that time, anyone could be a member. The premix was distributed judiciously. But now, fuel diversion and mismanagement of the distribution of premix fuel appear to have reached its peak. The NPP government is politicizing the distribution.”

He added “I know that by God’s grace, the NDC will win the elections, and I promise to improve the fisheries sector if elected in the 2024 poll. I will give you a sector minister who will perform better.”
