If you thought celebrities are exempt from the economic hardship that has hit Ghana, you need to hear MzVee’s concerns.
The singer in a new interview with pulse.com.gh has said that she spends more on fuel now than she did in the past.
According to her, “everything has been increased.” She now has to pay over a hundred percent of the price she used to buy fuel for her car.
“I was filling my tank for about GH¢ 300 but now I fill it for close to GH¢ 700 so yeah it’s hard in Ghana,” she said. Speaking on the newly introduced electronic levy, MzVee said ” I don’t have a good take on E-Levy because I feel like it’s a double taxation situation”.
She suggested that the government focuses on solving the basic social problems in the country before building a cathedral.
“I think there are basic things we should look at before we think about building a national cathedral in this country. I feel like for every five minutes there is a church, so why don’t we focus on fixing street lights, fixing potholes basic things like that before we think about one big church for God,” the singer, who dropped a new album 10-Thirty a few weeks ago, said in the interview at her home.”
After the introduction of the electronic levy as a means to solve Ghana’s economic problems, the government recently announced its decision to go for an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout.
The government has blamed the hard economic conditions and increase in the prices of goods and services on the Russia-Ukraine war.
MzVee released her 10:30 album recently.
