1. Consequent to the Toll Gate fee hike from $2 to $10, motorists have been driving through without paying after opening the boom at 1 toll gate. The toll fee increase will lead to a price hike of goods bcoz all products are transported & shops will pass on the hike to consumers. pic.twitter.com/WidzmfqxdF— Hopewell Chin'ono (@daddyhope) August 9, 2019
