I Have Spoken to Ghanaians And They Want E-levy – Ofori-Atta

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta says he engaged some citizens during the Christmas season and realised that most Ghanaians want the Electronic levy approved.

According to him, Ghanaians are not against the implementation of the e-levy, rather, just want the policy to be transparent for accountability sake.

Addressing the press on Wednesday he said “I had smaller intimate conversations with citizens across a few constituencies during the Christmas. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Akyem Heman, Anyinam, Apapam and our friend, Sam George’s constituency in Prampram to listen to what people feel and what people think.”

“The issues were quite clear to me. I did not, in those deliberations, encounter choleric response to E-levy; the issues were ones of accountability and ability for them to know what their money is going to be used for,” the minister said.
