A prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as Chairman Coka, has cautioned Ghanaians to prepare for tougher times ahead.
According to him, while the government plans to eliminate certain taxes, it also intends to introduce new ones, which could place an even greater financial burden on the people.
Chairman Coka believes that these upcoming tax policies will lead to severe economic hardship for many Ghanaians.
Coka, who made this known in a post shared via social media, said, “Let’s get ready for the introduction of more new taxes, but betting will be out. Hard times ahead. Coka, I care”.
Meanwhile, the finance minister has in the past said that there will be no new taxes to be introduced.
The government intends to announce that it has scrapped e-levy, betting tax, covid-19 levy, among other nuisance taxes.
