There is a lot of buzz on social media about the reintroduction of road tolls.

#NPPMustGo and #CancelElevy continue to trend on X with strong public sentiments, a day after finance minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam announced the reintroduction of road tolls during the mid-year budget presentation in Parliament.

#BawumiaForPresident sits atop the trends indicating a strong interest in his presidential candidacy, while Koku Anyidoho holds the 17th spot in the trends.

#BawumiaForPresident

Netizens are extolling Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his achievements and policies, ranging from digitalization, the Ghana Card, among others.





#CancelElevy

Several Ghanaians are calling for the cancellation of the E-Levy.

It will be recalled that the road toll collection system was scrapped after the introduction of the E-Levy.

However, following intentions by the government to re-introduce road and bridge tolls, netizens are championing the total cancellation of the levy for not meeting its intended purpose as touted by some government officials.

Some netizens have also been bringing back old statements of key government appointees who justified the implementation of the E-Levy despite strong public opposition.











#NPPMustGo

Following closely behind #CancelElevy, netizens are calling for the removal of the ruling New Patriotic Party government following economic challenges. They cite problems like the implementation of high taxes burdening citizens, recorded financial losses in various sectors, a high cost of living, and many others.







Koku Anyidoho

The political figure is in the trends following a reported commotion at the wreath-laying ceremony for the late Prof. Atta Mills at the Asomdwee Park on Wednesday, July 24, to mark 12 years since his passing.

Netizens are chastising him after he was accused by the siblings of the late former president of disrupting the event.
