Bawumia slams NDC over 'dumsor levy'

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has criticized the NDC government. He condemned their new GH¢1 per litre "Dumsor Levy" on fuel. Bawumia called this a betrayal of public trust. He stated that this levy is eight times more burdensome than the scrapped E-Levy. The NDC had opposed the E-Levy while in opposition.

Bawumia highlighted key points about the tax burden. For every GH¢1,000 spent on fuel, Ghanaians now pay GH¢83 in taxes. This is a significant increase from GH¢10 under the E-Levy. He accused the NDC of breaking their campaign promises. He warned that this could lead to more oppressive taxes in the future.

The introduction of the levy has sparked public debate. Many people are closely monitoring reactions to this development.

The NDC has faced criticism from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). They have been accused of corruption and enabling illegal mining activities. Dr. Bawumia has been vocal about these issues, calling out deception and betrayal.

The public's response to the "Dumsor Levy" will be important. It will shape opinions about the NDC's governance moving forward. Stakeholders will watch how the government addresses concerns about taxation and public trust.
