Ghanaian musician Kwaw Kese has expressed his support for the newly introduced GH¢1 petroleum levy by the NDC government, describing it as a better alternative to the E-Levy implemented under the previous NPP administration.
In a video posted on Instagram on June 9, 2025, the rapper stated that he would prefer what he called the “Dumsor Levy” over the E-Levy, adding that the current government is not placing excessive financial burdens on Ghanaians.
Kwaw Kese urged citizens to set aside political biases and unite in building a stronger and more progressive nation.
“The price of fuel has been reduced from GH¢16 to GH¢12 per litre. Which means he has dashed Ghanaians GH¢4. And if he is now saying that, give GH¢1 out of the GH¢4… I think it makes sense.
“I know some people will make politics out of this. But I think it makes sense if we want to build a great nation. I will advise us to put the politics aside and work towards how we can develop the country,” he said.
On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, Parliament passed the Energy Sector Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
The new bill introduces a GH¢1 levy on petroleum products, intended to help offset Ghana’s longstanding energy sector debt and support a stable electricity supply.
