The NPP is truly a dishonest bunch. On 31 January 2024, the Head of Fintech and Innovation at the Bank of Ghana, under the leadership of Governor Dr. Ernest Addison, wrote to MTN regarding a proposed 0.75% charge on certain transactions.
Yet, the same NPP that was in government when this correspondence was issued later held a press conference accusing the Mahama administration of reintroducing the E-Levy through the back door over a similar 0.75% transaction charge. The contradiction is glaring. If a 0.75% charge was being considered and engaged by regulators under the previous administration, on what basis was the current government accused of secretly reintroducing the E-Levy? Ghanaians deserve honesty, consistency, and facts, not political deception and misinformation.
The Minority Leader together with his NPP owe the people of Ghana an explanation and indeed an apology for the false narrative advanced against this Dr Asiama and this government. There is no ambiguity in the contents of this letter.
