Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Foreign Affairs Minister, has disclosed that the government will eliminate the COVID-19 charge in its upcoming budget.
“Only one more tax remains for the government to scrap in order to fulfill its promise of removing four taxes imposed by the previous administration.” the minister said, speaking to hundreds of Ghanaians living in Benin.
As the Foreign Minister pointed out that the betting tax, E-Levy, and emissions tax had already been eliminated after the president’s approval of the laws on April 2, the audience clapped and applauded.
In addition, he gave the Ghanaian community an update on events back home and urged them to maintain their confidence in the Mahama administration’s ability to fulfill its promises to the people.
“The government is investing in the youth by setting aside funds to cater for their needs,” he nevertheless said.
