Host of Good Morning Ghana, Dr. Randy Abbey has expressed shock at the Finance Minister's statement in an interview he granted to Kwame Sefa Kayi on Peace FM about the e-levy.
Speaking on his show, he indicated that the perspective, communication and approach taken by government and it's assigns on the controversial electronic transaction levy has exposed the ill motive on which they initiated it.
"I was scandalized the day I heard the Finance Minister grant an interview to Kwame Sefa Kayi on Peace FM morning show. And his answer on how we are going to go about this e-levy thing was that, it was not for nothing that God gave us 138 and them (minority) 137" , that was his answer.
"A Finance Minister who says that without this I cannot do anything. Who speaks like this in such a situation?"
The government's policy to introduce a 1.75% electronic transaction levy has been the most topical issue after it's announcement in 2021. Government has failed in getting it through a bill to be passed by Parliament as both sides of the house have taken entrenched positions.
Majority caucus have failed to marshall it's 137+1 members to pass the bill to enable government create an entrepreneurial society through the YouStart program and to build roads.
