Along with it comes the rise in basic commodities like rice, tinned fish and many of the staples that many, i believe are stuggling to purchase, especially in our districts.

The government continues to reassure us that life will get alot easier, but believe it or not, it doesn’t change much, because fuel will continue to rise, which means transportion costs will shoot up as well, which means you fork out more from your pocket for food, clothing and other necessacities.

How are you faced with the rise in fuel prices in your area?
