I did not vote on E-Levy and I have no regrets - Adwoa Safo speaks

In a recent statement, Adwoa Safo, the Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, clarified her position regarding the controversial Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy) bill. Safo revealed that she did not cast her vote on the E-Levy and expressed no regrets about her decision. Her absence during the critical voting process sparked considerable debate within political circles, particularly among her constituents and party members.

Safo emphasized that her choice was based on personal convictions rather than external pressures. The E-Levy has been a contentious topic in Ghanaian politics, with proponents arguing that it would enhance government revenue while opponents claim it imposes an undue burden on citizens. Despite facing criticism for her non-participation in the vote, Safo remains steadfast in her stance, underscoring the importance of aligning political actions with one’s beliefs.

Her comments reflect broader concerns about legislative accountability and transparency as lawmakers navigate complex economic challenges. As discussions around the E-Levy continue to unfold, Safo’s perspective adds another layer to the ongoing dialogue surrounding fiscal policy in Ghana.
