Former Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has accused the National Democratic Congress of deception following the introduction of an energy sector levy in Parliament.
The levy which places a GH¢1 levy on each litre of fuel products was sent to Parliament and passed under a certificate of urgency on Tuesday, June 2, 2025.
With this levy coming after the cancellation of the E-Levy by the government, many Ghanaians have expressed their displeasure, accusing the government of "robbing Peter to pay Paul".
Reacting to the new levy during the NPP thank you tour of the Central Region, Dr Bawumia slammed the government for imposing a fuel tax burden on Ghanaians which, he noted, is 8 times higher than the E-Levy they criticised the previous government about. "The NDC has told a lot of lies.
