The Member of Parliament for Suaman Constituency, Fredrick Addy, has reacted to the government's decision to impose one cedi on all petroleum products in its newly-amended Energy Sector Levies Act (ESLA), also termed as D-Levy.
According to him, when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) assumed office, they fulfilled their promise of removing several taxes introduced by the previous administration, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), delivering on a key campaign promise.
He made this assertion on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, when he was expressing his opinion on the newly amended 'Dumsor-levy'. "The NDC promised Ghanaians to eliminate all the taxes the NPP imposed on them and truly, when they came into power, they have really tried their best to scrap almost all of these taxes which E-Levy is one of them," he said.
He, however, stated that, ironically, the NDC, who previously slammed the NPP's taxes, have introduced a new tax.
