A lot of the reactions do not agree with the President on why we should accept the E-levy and so they shared their views. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/98a1c4544472443087ad3c5a16960844\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Since the introduction of the Electronic Levy Bill during the reading of the 2022 budget statement at Parliament, this is the first time President Akufo-Addo has said something about the controversial Electronic Levy Bill. <\/p>\n<p>The President while speaking to a group of people who visited him at Jubilee House on February 2, revealed why E-levy is important to the country currently. He mentioned that it will not be good for the country to always be depending on foreign grants and loans to develop our nation. <\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we have to generate revenue that will help build our country and that&#8217;s why they introduced the E-levy. He reiterated that the government doesn&#8217;t have money to run the country other than taxes the people pay. <\/p>\n<p>&#8221; It&#8217;s not going to be possible for us in Ghana to continue forever to be dependent on foreign grants and loans to keep our economy going. We ourselves would have to find the money for our development. That is why it has become necessary for us to introduce measures like this famous task that has caused unnecessary disputation; nevertheless, we will continue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; I am determined to persevere to make sure that we find the means to address the issues confronting us. The government doesn&#8217;t have any money, other than the taxes the citizens pay.&#8221; President Akufo-Addo said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/e7686ccb13f346c2a89076117583ffbd\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ghanaians upon reading and hearing this took to social media to express their views to the President and below are some of the views of Ghanaians. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ffd532b9c06a4c6e8c71b7c6913b56f9\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/77b9d0b39a034571ba74334a4785a1af\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ae066586a0c648f2825334d1fd483df4\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/61d74a1e430442ba90f392d28bdc16de\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/73ae7e806935485a895a38cb25b07e95\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/6859a04003114be0bac0c206858384b0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/0839b852160e457186c68206729c09b6\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/d31e48e4b2e14bac863c510cc2191515\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/f5e48972c12a4cd380ff16be034b796b\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/4846efcd62ce461f94246be6b9d88e5d\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/6164616ee2f14615a94a5db46af08cb5\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/34ed8d75650249b0930649b90e688604\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/74319a4d2fea473698fe8ff3ceed9c60\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/6d7434b2c2a4490394e219c9d97a8069\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/dfcde70210db445b938e3c70d1b6e2c6\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/9eb9dec3b59f4d0d92e6578cb6df4b52\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/6081b76ce8b74ba49365a648cdbc9588\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/42cc28f7dd994cd8b9c53c3d3c6814e4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/595c047d4984421abc2260cafb54a119\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you agree with the President that we should pay taxes like the E-levy to run the country? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you agree with what Ghanaians are saying about the President? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your views and comments on this article?
