Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president and NPP presidential candidate in the 2024 election, has fired shots at the John Mahama-led NDC government for introducing a dumsor levy eight times the e-levy.
According to Dr Bawumia, the NDC scrapped the e-levy, and now they have brought a dumsor levy, 8 times the e-levy.
Dr Bawumia noted that for the e-levy, when u send a momo of 1000 cedis, you pay 10 cedis, but for the dumsor levy, 1000 cedis worth of fuel you pay 83 cedis as new taxes
Speaking
They first said we brought e-levy so they are going to scrap it, they scrapped it and they have now introduced the dumsor levy which is 8 times the e-levy”.
He added, “Today if you buy 1 litre of petrol you will pay 1 cedis, If you buy GHC 1000 worth of fuel, you will pay GHC 83 in new taxes. The e-levy when you send some GHC 1000 momo you pay 10 cedis but for them, for 1000 you will pay 83 cedis for fuel.
I can assure you there are more taxes coming, by the time we will get to 2028 Ghanaians will realise the NDC told so many lies and I am sure they will tell us to come again to come and fix things”.
