Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has taken a swipe at the Mahama administration for what he describes as a deceptive U-turn on its tax policy, following the passage of the Energy Sector Levy Amendment Bill 2025. "You presented your budget saying you are not going to introduce new taxes and levies, then you turn and say you are repealing e-levy, but now you are bringing back e-levy.
You repeal e-levy and reinstate e-levy," he fumed.
His criticism came shortly after Parliament approved the controversial bill in the early hours of June 4, 2025.
The legislation imposes a GHS 1 charge on every litre of fuel, a move government says is essential to address the dire state of Ghana's energy sector.
