The Member of for Assin South and Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of , Rev , has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government over the recently increased Energy Sector Levy, dubbed the "Dumsor Levy" (D-Levy).

In a social media post on Friday, June 5, 2025, the MP accused the NDC of deceiving Ghanaians with the new levy, which he claims imposes a far heavier burden on citizens than the previously abolished Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy).

According to Rev Ntim Fordjour, the D-Levy charges Ghanaians GH¢1 on every litre of fuel, translating to a tax of GH¢83 for every GH¢1,000 worth of fuel purchased.

He compared this to the E-Levy, which imposed a GH¢10 charge on every GH¢1,000 sent via Mobile Money (MoMo).
