###AUTHOR: ABENA-------NDC has ruled Ghana for so many years .When they were given the Opportunity to find oil for us, they couldn't do it.NPP came for just 8 years and found oil for Ghana .We all know how NDC spent the oil money. NDC spread our streets with $120,000 V8 cars making Japan rich. All they know is to steal and make us miserable.Now Nana is here to save Ghanaians , he wants to share the money to us all, but look at what they are doing.What most Ghanaians are praying for is N D C will nerver come to rule this country again.God Almighty this is our prayer AMEN.

They pay Tax and NDC lots like Woyome steal the money through his clever tactics of judgement debt.Evil men among us yet come Sunday they dress smartly to their various churches because they are lining the pockets of the Church Ministers. I heard Woyome gave 100million cedis for the re building of Dabala church and the Minister /Pastor run away for this vast amount of money never to be seen again. Easy come easy go money.Hence why!

Can you mention 5 infrastructures NDC government was able to build with these huge taxes and levies in the past 8 years? No airline, No railway, bad roads, Ports expansion is on credit from foreign donors, French government support and finance our security services, Ghana health service and other government sectors were all supported by foreign partners.

I do support abolishing of those useless taxes,NDC government was just imposing taxes on Ghanaians unnecessarily as if those incharge were not thinking right,how on earth can you impose tax on poor people when sometimes they don't even sell anything,how do you determine their 1% tax,how do you know how much sales they make a day?
Some of the things that sent the party to opposition if you look at it they don't make sense at all,a party that is advocate for the poor but in government became elite government making life difficult for the poor with all kind of foolish taxes but will not listen, very arrogant until we found ourselves in opposition,shame on us.

So how was this Kayayei tax collected?
This is just a headline grabber; I have been observing kayayei girls in front of my brother's business in Adum, Kumasi for some years. Never before have I seen them being asked by anyone to pay tax. How does one collect tax from street porters who only operate away from the market place and only roam about chasing vans and buses for business???.

Kayayeism is a blot on our conscience as a nation. The business is demeaning. Over the years governments have over looked these vulnerable members of our society as they are demeaned in their quest to scratch an income for themselves and family. As a country we can do better by abolishing this kind of job by channeling their efforts into more productive areas of the economy. Agriculture is one huge area that we can consider. We must get kayayei off the streets.

Even though there is no levy known as "KAYAYEI LEVY , I simply don't care about any removal or abolition of such levy purported to redeem the poor souls of the downtrodden women head porters who toil under the scotching tropical sun to feed themselves and their fatherless children. If we are to address the untold hardship of the kayayei, then one percent abolition of their so called levy is nothing to write about. With so much talk about free education for all to the high school level, l anticipated the government to include these poor women in the free education programme by going back to the Kwame Nkrumah adult education programme which most grown ups were beneficiaries. Free adult education to these kayayei is more meaningful than the one percent tax removal. In this case, the government want to tell us that these women are sentenced to head porters for life. Most of them are still young and when given the opportunity to attend adult education schools under the free education programme, some can even become journalists, lawyers and medical doctors in future. To sentence a woman to head porter for life is not only wicked but also disgraceful to our country. We do not have to underrate them because of poverty. If we are sharing the national cake as the government is saying, then let these Kayayei have their fair share by giving them the right to have education.
