How can Israel -Iran war affect Ghana?Egypt which is less than 300km away from the scene,itourism centers are not affected.As a former student of NDC Propaganda School I don't believe this argument.

@Kwame Nkrumah. Not an economic expert and a little confused about your comments. Here is a govt that is responding to externalities by suspending a Levy that would have put more pressure on the coffers of the citizens. Compare this to the Akufo Addo/Bawumia led NPP that was always eager to retrospectively impose more Levy on the citizenry at the suspicion of any externality. All that whilst digging a $58mil Manhole they call 'foundations of a cathedral', their appointees at NSA were adding 1000s of Ghost Names to state payroll and their NSB Boss and his wife were diverting millions of state funds into their personal accounts. Govt is about doing what is good and right for the country, not unnecessary arguments!

@ Ojah, do you not want to accept that if Israel Iran war can affect our economy, no matter how small , Russian Ukraine war could also have affected our economy ?. Humbly accept that your people goofed on that simple issue instead of bringing in Cathedral and NSS ghost names issues which are yet to appear in court. One may have ZEAL but Little Knowledge leading to hasty and wrong judgement because of blind politics.This can be VERY DANGEROUS !!!

Anytime I tell my friends in NDC that their Leaders regard them as ANIMALS they get angry
Look at what that Jinapor Thief is telling Ghanaians. Didn't they tell us that external factors don't affect our economy?

The D levy was a stupid and lazy way of eaising funds. Government should spread the tax net. Masons, carpenters, painters and other trades should be the target. They charge so much without paying taxes. They should be made to register with Ghana Revenue. Teams should go to all building projects and do random inspection of registration and tax declarations. Our politicians are too lazy to do any hard work.

Nothing comes out of this sector.
The government should check how others countries are able to do it including our neighbor ,Ivory Coast.

The price of Brent crude oil on Nana Addo's last day of office, January 6th, 2025 was $76.30 a barrel. As of the last market day (June 13th) it is $70.22 per barrel. So how did this decrease become the whooping 70% increase that the Minister of Energy, John Jinapor, is telling Ghanaians through his spokesperson?
Must everything be turned in lies and propaganda? Or are you guys allergic to truth telling?

@ Patriot don't mind these lying fools who call themselves politicians. Another lie told in that statement is that 1 dollar was to 17 cedis when they took over. That is a big fat lie from a fool. As at 31 December 2024, the Interbank exchange rate was 1dollar to 14.70 cedis, and this any body can check on the net. Politicians when they want to comdemn their opponents they would use black market exchange rate. Is that fool saying that the rate of 1dollar to 10.50 cedis, is same as the forex bureau/ black market rate?
Interetingly since the rate apprciated to 1dollar =10 cedis region, it has stayed there for two weeks now. Hmmmm asem sebe.

I thought the p/NDC party and Mahama’s government officials said, it was their hard work that had made the price of oil reduced.
Do you see your level?

The NDC like the NPP should blaming wars for the levy on Ghanaians. During Akuffo Addo’s tenure, the E levy was tied to the Russian-Ukraine war. Today the NDC is also citing the Iran-Israel war for the D-levy. All countries levy taxes to boost their national economy and Ghana should educate and explain the levy’s they impose on Ghanaians and they will not hesitate to pay once it is for a good cause and will not end up in the pockets of politicians.

The government must apologize to Ghanaians for blackmailing the former government. Second, if what happened within less than a week can disrupt government agenda, they need to plan better. No country is an island.
