‘It seems this government fancies burdening the Ghanaian taxpayer with more taxes’ – Gideon Boako

Speaking in Parliament on Friday, July 31, during deliberations on the extension of the Energy Sector Recovery Levy to fuel oil, Dr Boako questioned the government's justification for the proposal.

He further cautioned Ghanaians against giving any political party an overwhelming majority in Parliament, arguing that such dominance weakens parliamentary oversight and allows governments to push through policies without sufficient scrutiny.

According to him, the government introduced the GH¢1 per litre Energy Sector Recovery Levy last year to repay debts in the energy sector, yet the intended objective had not been achieved.
