Former President John Dramani Mahama has said the National Democratic Congress(NDC) will not soften its stance on its opposition to the controversial e-levy and other nuisance taxes by the government.
“The NDC remains opposed to the imposition of the numerous fresh taxes on Ghanaians at a time when Government is living large and unwilling or unable to trim expenditure, cut waste and check corruption,” the former leader said in a Facebook post a while ago.
He insisted “these burdensome taxes” will erode business capital, especially at a time when government has “crowded out the private sector’s access to credit by its voracious appetite for borrowing.”
For him, the Ghanaian economy has been collapsed by President Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia following the debt crisis, for which he says there are very few tangible projects to show for.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Minority in Parliament says the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy) will not occupy the attention of Parliament as it reconvenes this week.
Deputy Minority Chief Whip, Ibrahim Ahmed, disclosed that the business committee has not scheduled the bill for consideration this week.
According to the Banda MP, the government wants to consult the Minority, the NDC, the NPP and the telecommunication networks before the bill returns to the house.
“Let me state emphatically that clearly contrary to the expectation of many Ghanaians that the almighty E-levy, which brought fighting, commotion and chaos in our Parliament. And held the name of Ghana to public ridicule is not in the business statement of agenda in Parliament from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

who is talking......?
Opana, we're all not dumb ooo and would not listen to this your tricks to amass wealth again ooo. We saw and know what you did in power. We've not forgotten your seventeen (17) killer taxes ooo. We are wild awake, if you care to know. Ghana was not founded for you. At least my son is enjoying FREE SHS without your killer taxes.
I bet if you set an intellectual trap for the NDC, most of them, including their big cohorts, will fall prey to their inability to argue constructively. I just can't fathom how one could cripple an economy whose indicators are remarkably more favourable than the one you managed. Even if you want to criticize it for being politically opposed to the current administration, you have to be measured and careful not to put your credibility at play. Let alone when you are a former president. Unfortunately, former President Mahama will make such a vile pun that he will not hesitate to pick pockets, so to speak.
This c0rrupt John Ford Mahama is a comedian........Remember Mahama and the wife Lorina are still taking their salaries. c0rrupt greedy man
Irresponsible speech! You lived the largest in the history of the country! What are you talking about?
Somebody who wants to be president again is calling Ghanaians not to pay taxes? Will you tell Ghanaians to pay taxes when you become president again? Did you not introduce more taxes than this government even when there was no pandemic or big developmental projects and policies? I blame the illiteracy rate in Ghana, else who will even vote for you again after that disastrous performance.
