A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Gabby Otchere Darko has reacted to a campaign promise made by former President John Dramani Mahama to the effect that a future National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will abolish the e-levy.
Gabby recalled that in 2007/2008 Mr Mahama and NDC vehemently opposed the introduction of ”talk tax” and campaigned to repeal it if elected.
After wining the 2008 elections, he said, they failed to honour that promise.
“In 2007/2008 John Mahama & NDC vehemently opposed the introduction of ”talk tax” & campaigned to repeal it if elected! They won in ‘08 but kept quiet. When Mahama became President in 2013, he quickly introduced the Communication Service Tax Amendment Act to widen the talk tax net,” he tweeted.
