Member of Parliament for Tema West, Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah has an epic message for Ghanaians who are against the proposed E-levy.
The former Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry has said that the proposed 1.75% e-levy by the government is not a compulsory tax.
Hon. Carlos Kingsley Ahenkorah, therefore, asked Ghanaians who do not want to pay the 1.75 e-levy to stop using Mobile Money (MoMo).
He said;
“It is not a compulsory tax, if you don’t do MoMo, you don’t pay. So if you don’t want to pay, don’t do MoMo. It’s simple”.
The MP also added that, if the e-levy is scrapped, the government may have to resort to borrowing from other sources, which would eventually become a burden on citizens.
“What I’m telling them is that they don’t seem to understand what’s going on. Look, if they continue, and government decides that fine, I am not going to charge anymore e-levy, government would have to go and borrow that money, and it becomes me and you, our burden to pay. So they should forget about what they’re doing and rather let us see how we can assist government to run this country”.
