The Minority in Parliament has voiced strong opposition against the government's proposal to raise the Growth and Sustainability Levy. They argue that such an increase would impose further hardship on Ghanaians, particularly as the nation grapples with economic challenges exacerbated by rising inflation and a high cost of living. The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu, emphasized that the government should instead focus on measures to alleviate the financial burden on citizens rather than introducing new taxes.
During a press conference, Iddrisu criticized the government's financial management and highlighted concerns about its impact on businesses and individual livelihoods. He asserted that increasing taxes during these challenging times will not foster growth or sustainability but rather hinder economic recovery efforts. The Minority's stance reflects a broader sentiment among citizens who are already struggling to make ends meet.
The call for a rejection of this levy aligns with their commitment to advocate for policies that prioritize the welfare of Ghanaians. The Minority is determined to work towards solutions that support economic stability without imposing additional financial strains on the populace.
