Yeah scrap it and go back to buying a liter of fuel at ¢17.00. The warped, weird, twisted and jaundiced il-logic of NPP is unfathomable.

But they said convid 19 as well as the Ukraine Russia war had nothing to do with Ghanaian economy.
Why mention world trends today.
With Israel and Iran conflicts embrace yourself for more Global crisis.

Crude oil was $84-$90/barrel under Nana Addo but its now $55-60/barrel while Trump of US is busily weakening the US$ against all other currencies making the Ghana cedi strong but some people say it is John Mahama’s effective leadership so we say yooo.Meanwhile all major highways under construction are at a standstill since effective John came to power perhaps waiting for NPP to come and continue in 2028.

If you do propaganda saying fuel price won't go up after adding 1 cedi on liter, world price trends will expose you. Just cancel the D levy

How do we describe the rubber stamp parliament that hurriedly passed the the dumsor tax law. They didn't think through before passing the bill. We can't trust these MPs.

It makes no sense to impose a dumsor levy when the government had a golden opportunity to realizing funds to assist in tackling dumsor by taxing betting proceeds but decided against it. Scrap that dumsor levy and find something else to tax that will be broadly supported by the public.

We remove taxes on betting wins and rather increase cost of electricity by 14% and tax fuel by 8%. These youth are just wasting away through betting and these companies which are foreign make millions in profit and exit the market after sucking us dry. Mahama should be bold and bring back betting tax. The youth can't do foco and after all he got 4 years anyway so he should help the country. NPP doesn't look like a good alternative at this time. The finance ministry should check the true ownership of the gaming companies and how profits are being cashed in boats, uses to export goods and take abroad without those funds coming to Ghana to boost the economy. That's where the dollar appreciation will start from

But Bawumia said at UPSA that he will scrap all the taxes. Was the fool trying to copy Mahama by then?

Sorry but these characters don’t think before taking actions. No serious thinking before passing this useless tax law in a hurry? And no serious assessment before assenting to this Bill? You see the kind of characters ruling us? And these funny men resort to the use of security agencies to deal with dissent? Until 2024 nobody had heard of the use of the Marshals to send an MP out of the August house. And just recently that inward looking man attempted to sack another noble man from Parliament. What nonsense? People should put on their thinking cups before taking any action. So all the rush, all the allowances paid for people to stay for long hours to pass this Bill have gone down the drain? Why? Because some people failed to think before rushing this nonsense of taxes through Parliament. People should just think and analyze issues before rushing to take stupid decisions. Nonsense

Ghanaweb should stop this unprofessional behavior of referring to Energy sector levy as D-Levy because there is no such Levy in our books.
