The acting CEO of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company, Sammy Gyamfi, has reiterated President John Dramani Mahama’s resolve to avoid imposing harsh tax measures on the public.

Ahead of the 2025 budget presentation by Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson, Gyamfi characterized the upcoming fiscal plan as one that offers relief rather than additional financial strain.

He emphasized that the budget would prioritize employment opportunities for all citizens, irrespective of their political leanings, underscoring the NDC government’s commitment to revitalizing the nation’s economy.

As the budget is set to be unveiled on Tuesday, March 11, expectations are high that the government will follow through on its pledge to abolish levies such as the betting tax, E-Levy, and COVID-19 levy.

“…I can tell you that this budget will not introduce any draconian taxes like they did when they were in government. This budget is a budget of hope. It is a budget that will ease hardships and not impose hardship on them.

“It is a budget that will be creating jobs, not collapsing them like they did. We do not have to speculate at all,” he stated.
