Ms Nana Yaa Jantuah, General Secretary of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), has proposed the formation of a committee for the monitoring of the proceeds that would accrue from the E-Levy and their disbursement.<\/p>\n
She told the Ghana News Agency in an interview, ahead of the commencement of E-levy collection May 4, 2022 that a Special account should be created for E Levy proceeds<\/p>\n
Ms Jantuah said composition of the committee should have representatives from selected Ministries, the Ministries of Finance, Works and Housing, Education and Health.<\/p>\n
“The committee must also have financial experts as well as representatives from one or two political parties as members.”<\/p>\n
Ms Jantuah called for the creation of a special E-levy account to facilitate monitoring of the proceeds.<\/p>\n
“We can look at the activities that E-Levy is supposed to support with this structure in place and if the project is outside the activities earmarked for the E-Levy, the committee would be able to kick against it”, she said.<\/p>\n
She said, once the E-Levy ends up in the Consolidated Fund, there would be accountability challenges, just as there have been with some other public funds.<\/p>\n
“The E-Levy proceeds going into the Consolidated Fund, I do not think it is the right way to go”, she argued.<\/p>\n
