Parliament shd enact a Law to tax Funerals ,Weddings ,Naming Ceremonies and other social events. When you have a society which hate paying Taxes you smartly create other means to increase Revenue

@Kay..Massa, you are absolutely right. centures ago when the British govt realised that their insanely rich aristocrats were building 200,300 etc bedroom mansions for themselves. They came out with "WindowTax" in the 1600s.
And, it worked for some bloody time.
The govt can target the idiots at Chiraa with this tax, and I do not care what any person from Chiraa or a relative of the thief called Sir John thinks!.
A mausoleum that cost over 20,,000 cedis to build attracts 40 percent tax.
Over 20,001 cedis to 200,000 cedis 65 % tax. Anything above 200,000 cedis at 100% . They can use this windfall to build average bungalows for nurses ,teachers ,doctors.etc Simple as that. It is same as those who import expensive cars such as Bentley, Rolls Royce, Bugatti etc. You hit them with 200% tax and you use that money to buy Marco Polo buses for the public. You do not need an IQ of 50 to figure out how beneficial that will be to the over all majority.

Spot on bro. This excessive spending on the dead has given we Ghanaians bad image abroad.
People outside Ghana says Ghanaians love the dead than the living.
It's high time government come up with excessive tax on those who refuses to spend on the living but prefer to spend on the dead.
The gentleman who built a storey building for the dead mum could have built a hotel, hostel or simple apartments from rent in the memory of his late mum.

And such people are enjoying Free Education for their children and other relatives. People in general, and Africans and Ghanaians do not appreciate things that they have for free. They must be rather subsidized.
I like the Akuffo Addo Free Education but I think it should not be totally free, especially for those at the Boarding and Lodging schools. Even Uncle Sam who is the richest of all does not offer Free Education for Boarding and Lodging Students which is not even common. Such students should be made to pay towards that. Even in Uncle Sam’s country, feeding of students is only free for students whose Parents are not that well to do and are just at, or below the Poverty level. Let Parents and Guardians pay something towards the Boarding and Lodging of their children at the High Schools. We want Free Education for our children because we are poor and cannot afford to pay. Yet, we are able to save and travel on Pilgrimages to Mecca and Israel. Does this make sense? Such Pilgrims rather finance the economy of Saudi Arabia and Israel. And is it necessary for people who are poor and poor and find it difficult to make ends meet go on Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. The Prophet Mohammed specifically mentioned that people who go on Pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina should be people who have been able to take care of the needs of themselves and their families.
