The President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has conveyed his empathy for Ghana's future leader in light of the continuous imposition of taxes by the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.

With the recent introduction of the Value Added Tax (VAT) on residential electricity consumption effective January 1, Mr. Cudjoe foresees the potential for additional taxes, given the government's expressed need for increased revenue.

Speaking on The Big Issue on Citi TV over the weekend, Mr. Cudjoe underscored the significance of prudent economic management. He expressed apprehension for the upcoming president, who will grapple with the challenges posed by numerous tax policies.

“I think it is important to be very careful about how we want to deal with this economy. I pity the next president of this country because what it means is that you are going to deal with this nonsense of taxes and there will be no breathing room at all,” he articulated.
