E-Levy trends on X
In the aftermath of the 2024 mid-year budget review presented in parliament by Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam on Tuesday, July 23, several hashtags have garnered attention and are currently trending on social media, particularly X.
Top among the list of trends are #NPPMustGo, E-Levy, Bawumia, and the 2024 mid-year budget review.
#CancelE-Levy
Following the government's announcement to reintroduce the collection of road tolls in 2025, #CancelE-Levy is currently the number one trending topic.
Ghanaians are calling for the cancellation of the contentious levy after the government touted it as the solution to the country's economic challenges. The introduction of the E-Levy resulted in the cancellation of road tolls by the government.
Netizens are bringing back old statements of key government appointees who justified the implementation of the E-Levy despite strong public opposition.

Listen closely to Kennedy Agyapong's words. Ken said, "She needs to verify Adwoa Sarfo's signature." Pay attention and listen.
They did this for e-levy. #CancelElevy #NPPMustGo

Toll booth was replaced with E-Levy. There is going to be re-introduction of toll booth in addition to E-Levy. What is your take on this decision by the government??#CancelTheDebt #CancelElevy #sheldon #sated pic.twitter.com/pLGDmslsb9

Trending at number two, 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.
NPP government introduced the E-Levy as a substitute for road tolls. Now, 3 years later, the same administration is reintroducing road tolls, which raises questions about why we are still paying the E-Levy. This inconsistency makes Ghanaian doubt the NPP credibility. #NPPMustGo pic.twitter.com/060PN6qIlm

The NPP MPs exchanged blows to pass e-levy and ambulanced bed-ridden Kojo Kum to Parliament to pass the e-levy. Bawumia jokingly wants to abolish it when he gets the Presidency. How laughable! #NPPMustGo #CancelElevy

Bawumia sits at number 14 on the trends following his promise of implementing a credit scoring system that will enable Ghanaians to purchase phones and cars on credit and pay in installments.

Dr. Bawumia tries to always get everyone along with his initiatives. He understands how the world is moving and he's passionate about taking Ghana to the next level through digitalisation.
