The Leader and Founder of the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Hon. Akua Donkor has urged Ghanaians not to consider the statement by Former President John Dramani Mahama on the abolishment of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy).
According to Hon. Akua Donkor, Mr Mahama mismanaged the country’s economy during his term of office.
Speaking to the Bryt Fm Correspondent, Nhyiraba Nartey Solomon, Hon. Akua Donkor stated that Mr Mahama is working hard for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to win the upcoming 2024 general elections.
‘‘Ghanaians should not listen to John Mahama’s argument on E-levy,’’ said Hon. Akua Donkor.
Meanwhile, Former President John Dramani Mahama has said if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) win the 2024 general elections, the party will abolish the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy).
According to Mahama, although the NDC is not against new taxes, the party will not condone “burdensome taxes like the E-Levy.”
Delivering an address under the theme, “Ghana at a Crossroad” on Monday (2 May), Mahama said, “We in the NDC do not oppose taxation as a principle. We will not be pretentious and couch fanciful slogans to condemn the principle of taxation as the NPP did in the past. We are, however, implacably opposed to distortionary and burdensome taxes like the E-Levy that only force Ghanaians to endure more suffering.
