  "account": "The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has halted its plan to raise transport fares by 30 percent following talks with the Ministry of Transport, according to a report by Samuel Amoah, National Deputy Public Relations Officer of GPRTU. The decision comes after the transport unions and government agreed to carry out a cost survey of operating commercial vehicles. GPRTU had initially submitted a proposal to the Transport Ministry for the fare increment, citing rising fuel prices, higher expenses for spare parts, lubricants, and taxes. The union suspended the proposed increase upon the government's commitment to examine the contributing factors to escalating transport operating costs. A committee comprising the GRTCC, GPRTU, and the Transport Ministry will conduct the survey, evaluating whether input prices have actually dropped and reviewing broader market conditions. The committee's findings are expected before the parties resume negotiations to determine if a fare increase is required. Transport operators are expected to keep their existing fares until a new agreement is reached. GPRTU anticipates the review to be finished before the next fuel pricing window, which is expected between this week and next week.",
