Founder and Leader of the Ghana Union Movement, Reverend Christian Kwabena Andrews, popularly called Osofo Kyiri Abosom, has criticized the government for continuously burdening the ordinary Ghanaian with the introduction of taxes, especially on essential services.
He says the recent 15 percent VAT on Electricity has exposed the current administration’s failure in managing the economy and has given the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia-led government low marks.
He spoke in Kumasi during a ceremony to outline his party’s vision ahead of the 2024 elections and officially launch his campaign.

He maintains that the two major political parties, the National Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party, have failed to live up to expectations despite Ghana being blessed with natural resources.
He has, among other things, proposed the revival of defunct state-owned factories and the introduction of free ports to encourage exports of locally made products.
He also criticized the feasibility of the 24-hour economy policy proposed by the NDC, citing the lack of available factories to successfully implement such an initiative.
