Vice President Bawumia has criticized the current tax regime, describing it as less structured and lacking innovation, which he believes burdens individuals and businesses.

He believes that Bawumia's performance and delivery on promises make him a favorable candidate in the eyes of Ghanaians, predicting a significant victory for him in the upcoming election.
