Scrap E-Levy, Bet and Emission taxes now – Mahama Ayariga to Bawumia
“In all honesty, I think Bawumia suffers serious credibility challenges. I didn’t waste time listening to his lecture. We have heard so many lectures about what the NPP government will do,”
The Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga is demanding the immediate abolishing of the controversial E-Levy, Bet Tax, and Emissions Tax.
According to him, rather than Dr Bawumia waiting to be elected as president of Ghana before doing so, he ought to do it now.
“In all honesty, I think Bawumia suffers serious credibility challenges. I didn’t waste time listening to his lecture. We have heard so many lectures about what the NPP government will do,” he said in an interview with newsalertgh.
He also criticized the economic management results under the NPP government and questioned the sincerity of Bawumia’s promises.
“All the taxes he said he would scrap and so on, I demand that it should be scrapped today. Ghanaians must rise and demand even if the chairman of the economic team did not believe in those taxes and was not honest to come out boldly and tell Ghanaians he did not believe in those taxes, and allowed the minority NDC to oppose those taxes and his side mobilized their numbers and voted in favour of the taxes and only for him today to come and tell us he doesn’t believe in those taxes and should be scrapped, we demand it should be scrapped now,” he added.
