Government Spokesperson and a member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Desmond Bempong has called the bluff of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on its stand in the introduction of the electronic levy (E-levy) in the 2022 budget statement.
According to him, the NDC seems not to support any policy of the NPP but has been the actual beneficiaries of such policies at the long run.
Expressing his view on the e-levy on Bryt FM Ebesi Sen political show, Mr Bempong stressed the introduction of the tax would go a long way to support the Akufo-Addo led the government to initiate and complete many projects and policies to benefit all Ghanaians.
He urged Ghanaians to understand the government in introducing the tax since it would help deal with the numerous developmental challenges and also provide jobs to the growing population.
“NDC is only good at criticising for nothing but they have forgotten that the NPP has been able to achieve all the policies it pledged prior to the party’s victory in 2016 and 2020. The e-levy will definitely be of help to all of us so we need to all come together and support the government” Desmond Bempong added.
However, the NDC representative on the show, Bright Nyawudzi on the other hand was disappointed in the Akufo-Addo led government for the introduction of the e-levy despite the many loans it has acquired.
