Former Deputy Energy Minister, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, has criticised the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the latest petroleum price hikes, highlighting what he describes as contradictions in the party’s previous statements on global economic pressures.

He said the party “lied their way into power” by claiming external factors were irrelevant, despite the country facing high inflation, a weakening cedi, and rising living costs.
