The public authority had asked oil advertising organizations (OMCs) to lessen costs of oil based commodities to pad the motoring public. This had followed a plunk down strike by some driver associations.
GOIL conformed to this suggestion and marked down its costs to GHp15 per liter at the siphons, having as of late decreased them by GHp14 per liter.
Goil diminishes fuel costs
In any case, the AOMC kept in touch with the Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, requesting government to stay away from value liberation as being executed by OMCs.
This seems not to have gone down well with GOIL as caught in an assertion dated Wednesday, December 8, 2021.
"GOIL needs to state completely that never did the public authority 'direct' the organization to diminish its fuel costs as being claimed and coursed.
"GOIL is a recorded organization with an established Board of Directors and Management and takes choices dependent on reasonable business standards," the assertion endorsed by Managing Director Kwame Osei-Prempeh said.
It focused on that the new decrease in costs was because of the thought of the government assistance of the customary Ghanaian.
"Benefit is thusly not the organization's superb rationale, we likewise take cognisance of our corporate social obligation to Ghanaians."
It miserable the rationale was "to pad Ghanaians in the troublesome post-Covid period".
It subsequently moved AOMC to give confirmation of its claims.
"The charge that administration is meddling in the business is unwarranted and ridiculous. GOIL has the right as some other OMC to decide its costs.
"We at GOIL accept the affiliation has shown gross lack of respect to the organization and disparaged it and public scorn. GOIL has subsequently chosen to suspend its participation of the affiliation right away."
