The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has urged the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) to press Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to eliminate certain nuisance taxes introduced by the current government.
Leader and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as part of his vision for his next government promised to abolish the numerous taxes introduced by the government.
His vision statement brought about a public engagement with sections of the public commending him for the brave move, however, the opposition party questioned the integrity of the vice president asking of his whereabouts when the taxes were being introduced.
In his address to GUTA members, former President John Mahama who is looking forward for a return as President, stressed the critical nature of the issue and called on Dr Bawumia to take immediate action rather than wait until he is elected President.
John Mahama opined that, if the Vice President has anything to offer Ghanaians, it should be done now rather than wait till he is voted into power as President.
However, John Mahama cautioned GUTA members against placing blind trust in these assurances, urging them to hold Dr Bawumia accountable for his commitments.
“Tell Bawumia to eliminate the E-Levy and other taxes now, not later,” Mahama emphasized during the meeting.

Have you returned your ESB ? Hy-po-cri---te Mahama !!! Highly incompetent and unfit for persistent in Ghana. Its just deception !!!!!
This man is so much of a jo0ker than a serious politician!
What important, beneficial and feasible policies have Akufo Addo and Bawumia ever produced apart from free senior high school? All the others are mere noises...where are we today with all their previous promises?
This Mahama guy has nothing to campaign about. The man has no policies or programmes for us. Tell us who is government official 1 in Airbus scandal. Corrupt, greedy and incompetent John Ford Mahama.
Dr Bawumia is a bad market, nothing or no one can save him. His mouth and deeds are responsible for the woes he will suffer in December.
If it's true that Bawumia is a nice person and believe that his boss is a wicked person for imposing excessively high taxes on Ghanaians, why have they been able to work together for 8 years with such important ideological difference? Bawumia can only deceive the simpletons in NPP
@Wofa KK, I don't understand how you people reason o. When Bawumia was calling Amissah Arthur all sorted of names, was the former ***barred word*** of any constitutional limitation on the office of the vice president? On the other hand, you guys claim that in spite of what ever limitations there are, Bawumia has managed to do all the supposed good things in this government while Akufo Addo is the one who has done all the evil things the government has done, so why can't Bawumia do this one most crucial important thing of lessening the huge tax burden on Ghanaians? You think we are children in this country right?
