E-levy will be a sacrifice Ghanaians can make to support national development – Kan-Dapaah

  Mr Albert Kan-Dapaah has urged Ghanaians to embrace the E-levy proposal in the 2022 budget statement in order to help the government generate revenue for national development. Speaking at a meeting with staff of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Mr Kan-Dpaah who is a chartered accountant by profession, noted that accepting the E-levy will be one of the sacrifices Ghanaians can make to ensure the government is able to revive the economy and a lso provide the much-needed public goods and services. “The extend to which the government can tackle the socio economic problems of the country very much depends on the revenues at its disposal. “Here in Ghana, the E-levy idea continues to divide opinions yet, these are but a few of the sacrifices that the citizenry must, in my opinion, be ready to make to support the government’s activity towards reviving the economy and providing much-needed public goods and public services,” he said. Parliament passed the appropriations bill for the 2022 bud

Mr Biden has signed a Federal Emergency Disaster Declaration, releasing funds for Kentucky, the worst affected state. He said the storms were among the largest in US history. More than 70 people died in Kentucky in Friday night's storms, including dozens in a candle factory, and the death toll is expected to rise above 100. Emergency teams are searching through the rubble of the factory, in the town of Mayfield, which was hit directly.

The Finance Minister who introduced the levy in the 2022 budget told Parliament a huge chunk of the proceeds will support entrepreneurship. The Agric Minister said the National Democratic Congress’ entrenched position on the levy is very worrying. Dr. Afriyie Akoto made the assertion when he visited one of the government’s built warehouses at Gambaga in the North East Region on his first-day visit to the region as part of his 13-day tour of the northern sector. “There are two markets in Ghana; the subsidized fertilizer market, which is the plantin
