President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that in spite of the challenge in approving the E-levy, he and his administration will continue to fight for the development of the nation.
President Akufo-Addo said that his government is determined to use all available means to push its development agenda for the country, irrespective of the opposition.
According to President Akufo-Addo, irrespective of the setback he is facing in Parliament over the introduction of the electronic levy (E-Levy), the government will continue to persevere to find the means to address pertinent issues affecting the state.
Addressing the chiefs and elders of the Dzodze traditional area when they paid a courtesy call on him, at the Jubilee House, President Akufo-Addo affirmed that it has become necessary for the country to look within for its sustainability and not to depend on aid.
“It is not going to be possible for us in Ghana to continue forever to be dependent on foreign grants and foreign loans to keep our economy going. We ourselves would have to find the money for our development,” said President Akufo-Addo.
President Akufo-Addo added that this is the reason why it has become necessary for us to introduce these measures like this famous tax [E-Levy] which has caused so much unnecessary, in my view, disputation.
He indicated that in spite of the challenge, he is determined to persevere to make sure that we find the means to address it.
