GHANA IS SERIOUSLY BECOMING THE 1ST PLACE UNDER THE SUN WHERE THE UNEMPLOYED WITHOUT ANY SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS ARE TAXED. IT'S TRUE THAT ALL GOVERNMENTS DEPEND ON TAXES FOR DEVELOPMENT. THE BEST WAY TO DO IT CIVILIZED ECON ...

The issue of the tax in Ghana is where do the taxes go? If Government is pending over 100% budget to elect itself, no control over ministries expenditure, health delivery is poor, energy supply is in crisis, rampant water sho ...

You and your folks are not better than Mr. Kwesi Pratt; learn some courtesy!
HOW MUCH IS GOVT SPENDING TO BUY CARS FOR MINISTERS. IS IT NOT RUNNING TO HOW MUCH THE GOVT REQUIRES. BETTER CONSIDER THIS SITUATION AND STOP DEEPENING THE WOES OF GHANAIANS
Kwesi,even though some of your suggestions are worth considering iam of the opinion that corruption in the public sector is the main reason preventing governments in Ghana from getting enough revenue to balance budgets.When ...

whose responsibility is it to alleviate corruption in the public sectors? We are all guilty of it. From education ministry to whatever, corruption is apparent but we all refuse to help arrest the evil practice.
It takes leadership to arrest corruption. Until we have leaders who are ready to lead, nothing much can be achieved.
You're right.
My brother you have hit the nail at the right point
It is quite obvious that the government is cash strapped and will use any means to come by money,but the approach they are using is not clever enough.Proper registration of the citizenry and businesses is the basis for an eff ...

You are absolutely correct. But them don't seem to know how to pool funds to complete 1 project at a time. Instead, the buy 1 generator, 2 transformers and add 5 roads and say there is development. Progress will always be st ...

He chose to do away with the foundation that the good Professor laid. The whole thing stems from poor ministerial appointments from the onset.
I used to think we didn't know better. But moving to Ghana and being here for 10 months, I have realized it is a combination of both. Ignorance and wanting to limit development, maintain the caste system and be one of the few ...

Methink there is sense in what Pratt is saying. There are a lot of people in Ghana who are not paying tax. The solution in making money for the government does not lie in increasing taxes but spreading the tax net wider. Any ...

How much do the govt. pay to the MPs and ministers. Half that amount and stop harrassing innocent Ghanaians.

In an economy where the fact shows workers take home pay doesn't even last hem for 2weeks, any idea of taxing them more is irresponsible. If you don't have money why do you go and pay ex-gratias and the rest. The state of Gha ...

WIDER TAX NET WILL STILL AFFECT THE POOR. SO LET THE GOVERNMENT STOP THE PAYMENT OF JD AND HER OFFICIALS PAY FOR ALL SERVICES SUCH AS IMPORT DUTIES ON THE CARS THEY USE AND PAY FOR THEIR FUEL AS WELL
Kwesi Pratt are you an ecconomist? the ledger has Revenue and Expenditure
Since you cannot manage the taxes we already pay, what gives you the right to tax us more. It is incumbent on you to manage our present resources well, before thinking about new taxes.
For the first time Mr. Pratt is talking sense.I do agree with you 100%. What the NDC is doing is destroying the country.But whom do I blame? The people of Ghana as they voted them into power.
