#FixTheCountry Movement Rejects NDC’s Invitation to Join Demo Against E-levy
The #FixTheCountry Movement has declined the call by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to join its protest against E-levy on Thursday, February 10, 2022.
The #FixTheCountry Movement on Friday, February 4, 2022, received an invitation from the opposition NDC to join the scheduled protest.
According to the Movement, it rather wants to build a multi-sectoral and non-partisan coalition against the levy, regarded as unpopular.
“In light of these, we think that the time has come for us to build a multi-sectoral and non-partisan coalition against the E-Levy. #FixTheCountry is committed to leading that process.”
It used the opportunity to “encourage all actors and political parties, including the NDC to continue to oppose the E-Levy vigorously, including holding the front of the opposition with their representatives in Parliament.”
“We think that the NDC can effectively cripple the government’s agenda in Parliament, if they maintain their commitment to the course, without settling or negotiating away the people’s opposition to the levy.”
