Shocking revelation is beginning to emerge about happenings in cabinet meetings that was held before the approval of the obnoxious E-levy tax.

Information reaching us is that there was a hot exchange between Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta

While Dr Bawumia was vehemently opposed to passage of the e-levy, the finance Minster maintained the passage of the tax will solve the country’s problems.

The National Women's Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kate Gyamfua has give more credence to this report in a recent interview she granted on Accra-based Peace FM.

Speaking in an interview on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on November 23, 2024, Gyamfua claimed that Bawumia, along with the Minister of Communication, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, opposed the implementation of the E-Levy during a party caucus meeting.

“When the E-levy was being introduced, two members opposed it. Bawumia said that the E-levy was going to affect the poor, so why would they tax their money? He really fought against it; he never agreed to the E-levy.

“I am the one telling you, and if any NPP member wants to challenge this, they should come forward. Bawumia and Ursula Owusu fought against the E-levy during a meeting, stating that it was not important, so they should look elsewhere. It is true that it has added no value to our economy,” she said.

Gyamfua made these revelations in an interview on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo on November 23, 2024, where she also defended Bawumia's victory in the NPP flagbearer elections.

She disclosed that Vice President Bawumia once again stood in opposition during discussions about introducing an electronic transaction tax in Ghana.

Gyamfua claimed that Dr Bawumia, along with the Minister of Communication, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, vehemently opposed the implementation of the E-Levy during the meeting.

“When the E-levy was being introduced, two members opposed it. Bawumia said that the E-levy was going to affect the poor, so why would they tax their money? He really fought against it; he never agreed to the E-levy. “I am the one telling you, and if any NPP member wants to challenge this, they should come forward. Bawumia and Ursula Owusu fought against the E-levy during a meeting, stating that it was not important, so they should look elsewhere. It is true that it has added no value to our economy,” she said.

She made these points while stressing on Dr Bawumia good intensions and competencies and the need to vote him in as the next president.

She touted that Bawumia did not win the NPP flagbearer race solely because of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's backing, contrary to what many believe. Instead, he did so because of his own merits and popularity.

"People have the perception that Bawumia was voted for during the flagbearer elections because of President Akufo-Addo’s backing. I want to state that anyone asserting such is a liar because the only support I can confirm from the presidency for Bawumia’s victory is 15%," she noted.
