It is not fair,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee said the level of the Committee of Subsidiary Legislation where he was the Ranking Member at the time the new fees regime was approved, it was a unanimous decision that the price needed to be reviewed upwards to free government cof\u00adfers from paying the subsidy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the said committee meet\u00ading, all of us agreed to the increment and recommended the ministry to implement the fee of GH\u00a2500 as approved by plenary.
