Well Ghana existed before e-levy. And according to NPP, e-levy was to prevent us to go IMF, but we went anyway. In any case after abolishing e-levy, we're steal alive and doing good numbers.

Another NPP thief masquerading as Development Economist. These nation wreckers will criticize any policies by the NDC even if the indices indicate exponential growth.

If the so called Dr Frank Bannor is intelligent, he will know that he is a fool. If Ato Fordon had introduced a tax in July 2025, he is now reading a budget for 2026. What is the lie here?

Furthermore the E-levy was further burdening the poor so taking it out was necessary if even it weaken general revenue, which was not even the case.

So this idiot thought they were going to scrap the e-levy without coming up with a solution to cure the shortfall? What kind of academics do we have in this country at all? Even my 14 year old son would have thought about this solution. You introduced an e-levy which your own economic messiah did not support in principle. He gave his reasons as not being favorable to the poor Ghanaian. You went ahead and introduced it. We all saw the repercussions. He comes back to tell us that we should vote for him to scrap the same e-levy that his government imposed on us. Of course we are not fools like you, so we didn't buy his lies. Another person who opposed it right from the beginning, comes to tell us we should vote for him to scrap it, and that he has a better alternative. We believed him. We voted massively for him, and he has not disappointed. True to his word, he has abolished the e-levy, and has been creative enough to come up with an alternative to fill the gap. Do you hear or see Ghanaians complaining about all the nonsense you spewing here? You can't use your brains. Someone who is smarter than you is doing what you couldn't think of, and you are here spewing garbage. My friend, people like you are simply enemies of progress. You need to be stoned to death because don't care about ghana.

Indeed you have said it all here, except for the stoning to death part, even though I understand why you said that in addition. They don't care about the plight of the ordinary Ghanaian! Why should ordinary Ghanaians suffer if the mining companies can afford to adjust their revenue to cater for the gap? And thst is just one example. I think the biggest problem we have in this country are the so-called educated people!

While both of you demonstrating the needed intelligence of revenue generating base on taxes …. Why can’t you reduced the stuck of the military budget, deploys to Military equipments and personnel at hand and then to formulate the Ghana infrastructure maintenance agency or the so called worded ministry?

This country spends too much money on military for absolutely nothing… not even uses the men and equipment sitting idly to produce food .. like the workers brigade nor road, bridges, tunnels and maintenance…

Yet you’re advocating for more taxes such as that and this on already taxed burden citizens..

Have you all double check your water bill , electricity bills and notice how many taxes items, exhibit on the statement??

There are no need for these numerous taxes imposed as you indicated an even replacing the E levy lost of revenue…what is the E levy at all ?? Why can’t we done away with and if we have done so???And why can’t we reduces the chunk of the military budgets to compensates for the shortfalls of the revenue generated???
Folks tell us what that military portion of the budget mean for our country needs of revenue, if we can diverts to maintain and develop our infrastructure base?
Who are we going to war with??

The country has not been able to maintaining its policing units yet you spent chuck of money for such a dead end unit like military why?

Use your intelligence to debate on scraping the military needs and stop talking about E levy and that and this lost of revenue generation , but rather clean up the cost aspect of the country’s expenditures..such as cut the overall budget needs for the military to nothing..like Iceland costo rica
.
Tax the huge Estates properties owned by the thieves politicians and government officials used the stolen monies to built , tax the heavy luxury vehicles park in garages to show off wealth and brags,lower business tax, lower tax on poor consumers , poor street hawkers .., tracking the revenue collected at lorry parks stations , constructing toll tax roads and highways for efficiency in traveling time , reduces accidents and curtail death of citizens…

How do you allow heavy duty vehicles with overloaded goods destroyed highways and go free without proper taxes in place and fines…? There are So many avenues to generate the shortfalls revenue rather than fighting about E levy shalom.

What is the problem with these Npp wicked people. If NDC manage to get the economy on track without borrowing and without all the nonsense taxes placed on the head of poor Ghanaians alongside high inflation rates which ended up collapsing a lot of local businesses, what is your problem.

This time round it is Ghana against Npp. Npp are a nation wreckers and have selfish motives and always comeback to destroy what has been built.

This time around Ghanaians are wiser and we will not give any Dog the chance to fool around without future and our childrens future.

How can a doctor in economics reason and spew out such nonsense. If govt thinks that certain levies are unpopular and not helping the people and takes it off, shouldn't they introduce new taxes that are fit for purpose ? When Prez Atta Mills introduce VAT, NPP made lot of noise but when they assumed office, they increased it so high. Cheap talkers in the classroom. He should join the implementation band wagon and learn the realities and stop those advertising cheap classroom talks. Any idiot can sheepishly talk.
