‘If we were under the NPP, we would be paying an Israel-Iran levy’

The Deputy Director of Operations at the National Service Authority (NSA), Fuseini Donkor, has accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of exploiting global crises as a pretext to impose questionable taxes on Ghanaians when in power.

According to him, the NPP has a penchant for imposing unnecessary financial burdens on citizens under the guise of national need.

Speaking during a panel discussion on Joy Prime TV, Mr. Donkor—who previously served as the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Sekyere Afram Plains—alleged that the NPP would have introduced a new tax in response to the recently erupted Israel-Iran conflict if they were currently in government.

“Twenty to twenty-five percent of the world’s oil passes through the Strait between Iran and the UAE, including oil from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait,” he explained. “Now that Iran is threatening to block that passage, which will affect global oil supply, the NPP would have seized the opportunity to slap an ‘Israeli-Iranian levy’ on us if they were in power.”

When asked whether the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government might take similar steps, Donkor dismissed the idea, stating the NDC had shown a more measured approach.

“Even the one cedi per litre levy introduced to address challenges in the power sector has been suspended,” he said. “If it were the NPP, they would still have implemented it—just like they continued to collect the COVID levy long after the peak of the pandemic.”

Former vice president, Dr. Bawumia has given a reason why Ghanaians should give him the nod to become the next president of Ghana.

Speaking to the MMDCEs, the former vice president admitted that he might not be rich, depending on how rich is being measured.

However, Dr. Bawumia stated that he has rich ideas that can transform Ghana within the shortest possible time.

He stated that, poverty shouldn’t be the reason why one cannot become the president of Ghana.

According to him, even the poor who has rich ideas can become the president of Ghana.

He said “I may not be rich, but I have rich ideas. Poor people can also be presidents of Ghana”.

If we were under the NPP, we’d be paying an Israel-Iran levy, says Fuseini Donkor. #PrimeMorning pic.twitter.com/pC7Ghh515O
