Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency has said he is elated by assurances from former president John Mahama that a future NDC government will cancel the E-levy.<\/p>\n
Mr Mahama speaking at the NDC\u2019s \u201cGhana at a crossroads\u201d event held in Accra on Monday, May 2, 2022, said the opposition party is not opposed to taxation, however, the party is against taxes that burden the Ghanaian people.<\/p>\n
The former President said: \u201cWe in the NDC do not oppose taxation as a principle. We will not be pretentious and couch fanciful slogans to condemn the principle of taxation like the NPP did in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are, however, implacably opposed to distortionary and burdensome taxes like the e-levy that only force Ghanaians to endure more suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cA new National Democratic Congress Government, God willing and with the votes of the sovereign people of Ghana \u2013 in 2025 \u2013 will repeal the E-Levy Act.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting to this, Mr Ablakwa who is one of three plaintiffs fighting the E-levy in court in a Facebook post said \u201cI am absolutely elated to hear former President Mahama\u2019s firm assurance that a future NDC government will repeal the abhorrent and detestable E-Levy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gives me great hope that even if we do not get the justice we deserve in the Supreme Court and on the streets, E-Levy will go!\u201d<\/p>\n
