Government Calling for Coup With E-levy – Economist

A United States based economist, Dr. Sa-ad Iddrisu has urged the government to listen to Ghanaians and drop the E-levy.

According to him, failure on the part of African leaders is the reason why there are so many coups on the continent.

He believes Ghana can once again has its own coup if the government forcefully force the e-levy down the throat of Ghanaians.

“You’re voted as a government to be able to deliver what the people want, not just have your way all the time, because having your way all the time begins to create a lot of tension,” he said.

“…looking at what is happening in parliament as at now with this E-levy thing, it’s clear that the citizens don’t want it but the government wants to go ahead with their numbers in parliament including the independent candidate, to pass the E-levy. Some of these factors are things that the government needs to look at. You are voted into government to deliver what the people want and not to have your way all the time, because having your way all the time begins to create a whole lot of tension or unnecessary tensions that can trigger coup in the country”, he said.
