This is done in order to generate as much money as possible from the heavily criticized Electronic Transaction Tax, or “E-levy.”
The E-levy as revealed by NPP’s Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko has failed to bring in the projected revenue.
Gabby who is affectionately known as “Prime Minister” claims that Ghanaians have avoided paying the E-levy, which has had an impact on the results.
Only 10% of the Ghana Revenue Authority’s projection has been met thus far.
