@Seth your IQ is very low. so ndc is to govern the country for 4 years so whatever thrown at us must be accepted.The agency that rated ghana as one of eight countries wth low IQ knew what they were doing, Indeed, if ghana was a serious country John Mahama wouldnt have come back to rule again. A country like Nigeria would never have voted for Mahama if this election was held there because their IQ is very high.

@kofi. Creatures like you should not reproduce. Never, ever! And if you already have, it is a mistake of nature. For eight years, you accepted what Akufo Addo and his Akyem Mafia leadership of the thievery NPP threw at you. Please let Ghanaians enjoy their newly found relief under the people's President, John Dramani Mahama! Even in his blind or dead state, he can't be any worse than Akufo Addo and the NPP of last eight years.

@Simeon. If you don't see it, feel it or smell it, it means it doesn't exist! We were all in this country when Bawumia, the Talking Cricket of the NPP, went round cricketing that Taxes are the Lazy Person's way of managing the Economy. He and his team turned round to impose NUISANCE TAXES. If he could think of tax reforms and not just another political gimmick, why didn't they implement it? We are tired of these OPPOSITION KNOWS IT ALL NONSENSE!

They lied to get votes now they have realized that these taxes cannot be abolished without the IMF raising queries. So the safest escape route is to use the phrase, "we wil abolish".

If they abolish e-levy, then they must break the 8 and possibly the 12. I like NPP, but they need to be severely punished for this e-levy. It has held the development of the country back and it was so so lazy. I cannot vote against NDC in the next few elections if they abolish e-levy. It will change me greatly.
