Actress Lydia Forson says Ghanaians have lost faith in the current administration following the introduction of the Electronic Transactions Levy (E-Levy).
E-levy revenue isn’t as high as the government had planned, according to tweets by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko on Monday June 27, 2022.
Mr. Otchere-Darko disclosed that it is only bringing in 10% of the predicted revenue.
The administration, according to him, has to do more to boost investor confidence in the nation.
In response to Mr. Otchere-Darko’s position, Lydia Forson claimed that the public no longer has faith in the government.
Shesaid that the Ghanaian people would have supported the government in taking the necessary actions to ensure that the economy recovered if it had listened to the majority of Ghanaians, who were against its implemetation.
“You underestimated Ghanaians yet again. If this were a listening & honest government, many people would contribute to help save our economy. But we don’t trust you and that’s the problem! You can’t say we’re broke, yet spend frivolously and expect us to pay for this,” she said in a tweet.
Adding that “My fear is that our country is really broke, and until something is done immediately things are about to get even worse. But we don’t trust our leaders due to how they continue to spend our money; so solution they may have to save our economy will be met with resistance”.
