IMANI Africa’s Founding President, Franklin Cudjoe, has identified tax adjustments in the 2025 budget as a source of financial relief for citizens.

During an interview on The Keypoints on March 15, he noted that reducing levies like the e-levy would ease financial pressure on individuals by increasing their disposable income.

“If we are providing relief for taxes like e-levy… substantially, you’re putting some money back into people’s hands, more or less disposable income,” he said on The Keypoints on March 15.

While acknowledging that tax cuts alone won’t resolve all economic hardships, Cudjoe stressed that they contribute to reducing financial burdens.

He also questioned whether the budget effectively addresses the real challenges facing Ghanaians.

“What is the essence of the budget if it is not going to affect positively people’s livelihoods—from healthcare to education to hardcore poverty?” he asked.
