Minority Wary Of New Taxes To Raise An Extra GH¢11 Billion

The Minority in Parliament warned the government against introducing new taxes with this budget. The Yapei-Kusawgu MP, John Jinapor, told Citi News that the government plans to raise an additional GH¢11 billion by imposing new taxes in the 2024 Budget.

He said the Ofori-Atta met the Finance Committee and indicated that he intends to raise the additional GH¢11 billion. But Jinapor noted the Ghanaians had been too burdened with tax and called this move inappropriate.

He further suggested that the government should rather consider cost-cutting expenditure measures.
