Francis Dodovi<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n FRANCIS DODOVI, a top member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, has spoken against government\u2019s implementation of the Electronic Transfer Levy, otherwise known as E-Levy.<\/p>\n According to him, the recent implementation of the E-Levy clearly shows that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration lacks the vision to ensure the transformation of the country.<\/p>\n Dodovi, who is aspiring for the Ashanti Regional NDC Youth Organiser position, stated that majority of Ghanaians opposed the E-Levy policy yet government went ahead to introduce it.<\/p>\n He continued that instead of the introduction of the E-Levy policy, which he claimed would worsen the living condition in the country, the government should have taken a different approach.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you open your eyes wide, you will realise that countless number of small businesses in the system are evading tax, and I was expecting the government to introduce a policy that will draw such businesses to the tax net.<\/p>\n \u201cThe government should have taken steps to open more tax offices in the various communities as a way of forcing small businesses to pay their tax, instead of introducing the E-Levy to tax poor Ghanaians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n According to him, the NPP government seemed not to care about the myriad of problems facing the ordinary Ghanaian by the introduction of the E-Levy, reiterating that the policy would deepen the woes of many Ghanaians.<\/p>\n Dodovi, who was speaking on Akoma FM<\/em><\/strong> in Kumasi, said the introduction of the E-Levy has sparked massive anger among majority of Ghanaians, some known dyed-in-the-wool NPP members.<\/p>\n FROM I.F.
