Chris Akumey wants removal of ex-refinery differential levy halted Lawyer Chris Ackumey has filed a writ at the
Supreme Court seeking to halt the removal of
ex-refinery differential levy on fuel prices.
The writ, Joy Business has learnt, was filed some
two weeks ago.
The court of Appeal in March directed the National
Petroleum Authority to comply with the high court
ruling to remove the levy because it’s illegal.
However, Joy Business has gathered that the
authority has also filed a writ at the Supreme
Court to stop the appeals court action.
Lawyer for Chris Ackumey, James Agalga tells Joy
Business they want a clear interpretation on the
issue
The levy over the years has been used to subsidize
prices of LPG, Kerosine and Premix Fuel to bring
down their cost. Its removal could result in
reduction of some petroleum products.
Government has however maintained it might be
forced to increase fuel prices if the levy is
removed.
