A political aide to former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Kofi Tonto, has criticised the -led (NDC) administration, accusing them of deceiving Ghanaians by sneaking a controversial fuel levy bill through Parliament under a certificate of urgency.
Speaking in an interview with Kwaku Owusu Adjei (Pato) on Adwenekasa on Original TV, Tonto alleged that the NDC-led government under has scammed the public after campaigning against unpopular taxes such as the E-Levy and the Betting Tax.
According to him, the NDC used public discontent around those taxes to present themselves as pro-people, only to introduce what he described as an even more burdensome fuel levy in secret. "How can a party promise to scrap the E-Levy and Betting Tax, only to smuggle in a fuel tax in the dead of night?
Ghanaians have been scammed," Tonto said.
