An Afterthought!!! Kwesi Pratt, Charles Owusu Criticize Govt Over Townhall Meeting On E-Levy
Former Head of Monitoring Unit of the Forestry Commission, Charles Owusu has described as an afterthought government's town hall meetings on the controversial E-levy
The government has said that the town hall meetings are aimed at explaining the importance of the E-levy to Ghanaians as well as taking feedback.
So far the town hall meetings have been held in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale, Koforidua and Takoradi.
Reacting to this on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Charles Owusu said the various meetings and engagement should have been done before the levy was introduced to Ghanaians.
"I hear the ruling administration is a listening government and that that is why they are engaging Ghanaians on e-levy; to me, it's an after-thought...had the levy been accepted in Parliament, would they have come back to us for town hall meetings? he queried.
