The Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy) has received massive opposition from Ghanaians most especially from the Minority Caucus of Ghana’s Parliament. To explain to the Ghanaian populace, the benefits of the implementation of this policy, the government through the Finance Minister, Hon. Ken Ofori-Atta is organizing a series of town hall meetings. The meeting is also meant to answer questions that are still on the mind of Ghanaians about the levy.
A new town hall meeting on the E-Levy is set to come off today in the Western Region. The event would take place at the Sekondi Youth Centre at 2:00 PM. Prominent members and leaders of the ruling New Patriotic Party would be present to see to the success of today’s meeting.
President Akufo-Addo took to his Twitter handle to remind Ghanaians about today’s critical meeting. Most Ghanaians expressed their opinions under the President’s tweet. One account user remained adamant calling for the scrapping of the controversial levy. Others are also looking forward to today’s meeting eagerly. Check below for some of the comments from Ghanaians:
