The government's introduction of the GH¢1 fuel levy under the Energy Sector Levy has sparked mixed reactions among netizens on social media, who have drawn parallels to the time when E-Levy was passed under the previous government.
As a result, E-Levy is trending at number one on X on Wednesday, June 4, 2025.
The Energy Sector Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which imposes a GH¢1 fee on petroleum products, aims to generate additional revenue to help pay off the country's chronic energy sector debt and ensure a stable supply of electricity.
While some netizens have welcomed the tax, others have expressed strong opposition, arguing that it may place an additional burden on Ghanaians, similar to the repealed E-Levy.
