Tamale Central lawmaker, Murtala Mohammed has dared the government to tell Ghanaians how much the COVID-19 levy has raked in so far.
He said the taxpayer deserves to know how much has been received by the levy.
Following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the government introduced the recovery Levy on the supply of goods and services and imports to raise revenue to support COVID expenditures and to provide for related matters.
The law was assented to by the President on 31 March 2021.
Speaking on the New Day show with Johnnie Hughes on Tuesday, July 19, 2022, Murtala Mohammed said the government must account for the funds received.
He indicated that failure on the part of the government to account for the proceeds confirms allegations of corrupt activities surrounding the levy.
