flag Star Oil’s CEO says Ghana’s fuel price floors hurt competition and should be removed.

flag Star Oil CEO Philip Tieku criticized Ghana’s National Petroleum Authority for imposing price floors on fuel, calling the move a sign of weak governance and market distortion. flag Speaking on November 6, he argued that price controls undermine competition and are unnecessary for profitable companies like Star Oil, which remains viable without regulatory support. flag While acknowledging the policy may temporarily curb illegal fuel diversion and tax evasion—where untaxed fuel is sold below market rates—he insisted market forces, not government intervention, should set prices. flag Tieku urged regulators to focus on improving corporate governance and compliance instead of distorting competition through artificial price floors.
