Former Finance Minister Dr.
Mohammed Amin Adam has criticized the 2025 budget presented by Finance Minister Dr.
Cassiel Ato Forson, describing it as deceptive.
He expressed disappointment over the government's decision to extend the Special Import Levy indefinitely, despite earlier promises to abolish it. "I am really surprised that the government that is resetting Ghana with a tradition of abolishing taxes is fighting so hard to reintroduce and extend the special import levy in perpetuity," he stated on the floor of Parliament.
