Popular entertainment pundit cum artiste manager, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, known in industry as ‘Bulldog’ has described the E-Levy as a needless and frivolous policy that will be of no benefit to Ghanaians.
According to him, the the essence of taxing Ghanaians who are already struggling to make ends meet in an already crippled economy is absurd.
“It’s E-levy right? Let’s change its name to F-Levy, meaning, foolish levy. It’s a foolish levy. That’s my opinion on it. Very simple. If something is foolish it’s foolish. Our leaders are not dumb or stupid. They know what they are doing. They are reluctant to follow the right path. They are not willing to fix a broken nation. That’s just it.
“There are too many taxes on us already. We don’t need this. It’s not important. Scrap this. We are hurting the nation. Even Bawumia said it. If those taxes are implemented they wouldn’t even apply it where it needs to be applied so why take it from the people?. The question here is, what are they using all the monies they have already made for? What have they done? They should tell us.” he stated in an interview with an Accra based TV station.
Aside from Bulldog, a couple of celebrities including Lydia Forson, Gyedu Blay Ambolley, DKB, A-Plus, Kwaw Kesse, John Dumelo, Bridget Otoo, and others have kicked against the E-Levy.
Bulldog has been a huge critic of the NPP government’s actions such that some of his comments on national TV landed him in trouble.
