The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketua, says the E-Levy cake used to celebrate the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu’s birthday truly reflects how proceeds from the E-Levy Fund would be spent.
Speaking at the ‘Yentua’ demonstration in Accra, the General Secretary of the NDC stated that the E-Levy cake should give Ghanaians a fair idea of how the revenue accrued from the proposed levy would be expended if it gets parliamentary approval.
“I have seen the cake that should tell you what the E-Levy will be used for, it would be squandered.”
He further stated emphatically that the NDC government is not against taxation, but added that E-Levy is not taxation, but rather robbery.
“The NDC is not against taxation, the E-Levy is just a broad daylight robbery.”
The Coalition of Concerned Ghanaians (CCG) today, Thursday, February 10, 2022, led the protest dubbed ‘Yentua’ to express their displeasure over attempts by the government to get Parliament to approve the controversial 1.75% Electronic Transaction Levy, popularly known as E-levy.
Representatives of the various political parties, Civil Society Organizations, and other identifiable groups who joined the protest stated emphatically that they would not accept the E-Levy.
