According to the Union, the decision follows a successful consultation with its mother body.
The communique reads;
“In consultation with our mother body the GPRTU OF TUC, we wish to announce to the general public that there will be a 30% increment on fares starting Tuesday 21st September 2022.”
“Due to the increment in fuel products, spare parts, and the poor management of the economy of the government, we are unable to make enough money to cater for our family and pay off our loans.”
“Electricity tariffs, water tariffs, Prices of spare parts, prices of food and Pure water prices have all increased, hence we have no option than to also increase our fares,”

Unfortunately, everything is increasing in higher percentages but citizens’ income is increasing by a very low percentage. This is a major threat to national security!
