Social commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs has requested the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to cease opposing the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy) “for Ghanaians to take them serious”.
“My advice to them (NDC) is that the more you insult the more Ghanaians will see your character and conclude that voting for you will mean trouble; because there’s nothing else…” he said.
The former Central Regional Chairman of the NDC contributing to a panel dialogue on Peace FM‘s morning present ‘Kokrokoo‘ urged the opposition social gathering to cease “condemning” the e-levy which was carried out in May 2022 and fairly give attention to their message for Ghanaians particularly as they intend to return again to energy.
“If you won’t explain your reasons; but will rather condemn people for supporting e-levy…if that is your option, so be it but E-levy has come to stay,” he indicated.
According to him, “I believe there’s something in it (E-levy) that will help Ghana. Should the current government succeed…E-levy will add more to road construction…E-levy has come to stay and so when you go against it, it is like you’re fighting God. The truth is that if you fight against e-levy, you fight against God”
