Why is this government doing the exact opposite of all that Bawumia is promising Ghana. Just yesterday Bawumia promised to make Light bill affordable when he gets the nod to become president and just within 24 hours the same government is planning to re introduce VAT on electricity. Meaning bills would be up by 21.9%

I am so glad discerning Ghanaians are now beginning to see the deception we have always been talking about regarding this government. These people are just greedy nation wreckers. How can you reintroduce VAT on electricity based on current inflation of around 21%? This is contrary to macroeconomics 101.

Mr Minister, you deceived us that the IMF loan was not coming with conditionalities. Now you want to impose VAT on electricity consumer so that the IMF loan will not suffer. The many vulnerable Ghanaians must suffer because of your reckless expenditures? Why do people steal power? You think they take delight in doing so?

Common sense should tell our corrupt leaders that reduction in government expenditure is a better alternative that always seeking to raise more taxes from the overtaxed Ghanaian

Why should Ghanaians pay VAT on electricity in Ghana when salaries and wages are very low and cost of living is very high in the country?

Someone should knock the head of this incompetent and clueless minister of finance for me. How does reintroducing vat on electricity reduce inflation? Hmh! U are rather going to increase cost of living on consumption. Ghana inflation is caused by low agricultural production hence failure to supply the market, high level of demand of on home/ local commodities like food from Burkina Faso and Mali as a result of the continues conflict in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. They come and buy all our food at high level , hence ordinary Ghanaians can not buy hence the food inflation that is affecting everyone life. And finally inflation is high in Ghana because of high import duties by government on spare parts , cars, food and fertiliser. Just because we want to raise fund to sustain our government wicked life style. Book economics vice president and minister.

As for this Minister for Finance he is heartless. He doesn't care the effect of series of taxes tormenting Ghanaians. He cannot be bothered even picketing behind his window at the office. But the time is coming when he will be removed like his predecessors. Thank you.
