Sierra Leone Road Transport Cooperation Announces New Inter District Transport Prices

Why salone we nor lek wesef , if nabin fuel price go up u dae see boku commets. But now nor tok wae price don go done.

Price go up at five Leones at any price increases

While it is great that the (illegitimate) government is looking to bring down prices, I think they need to be careful about trying to control/set prices too much. We are a free market economy. They government should be ensuring that companies and business people are not raping our people, however, the government should not be the one setting prices in most cases. Fuel is not the only expenses that businesses have. Since we are talking transportation, vehicle owners have maintenance costs, salaries and those are not stagnant or going down like fuel. And while whatever rearranging the government might have done with how fuel prices are set might have provided some leeway to lower prices, the fact is that oil prices in international market today, is 10% higher that in it was at the start of June, which means, petrol, diesel, Kerosene…prices are at least 10% higher. Fuel importers are not going to import fuel at a loss. If prices continue to go up in international markets, then we end up with shortages. The Leone is also only going to depreciate over time. Den for take tem or they end up making problems worse.
