Charles Nii Armah Mensah and a tall list of Ghanaian celebrities have joined forces with concerned Ghanaians to speak against the passing of the E-Levy.

The Electronic levy the government is poised on passing has raised a lot of concerns among citizens in the country.

Many are those who hold the notion that the E-levy will collapse businesses because of the charges it will impose on electronic transactions.

Although the masses are speaking against it, the government have stated that the E-levy is the surest way to save the economy of Ghana from collapsing.

President of Ghana, H.E Nana Akuffo-Addo has said the country cannot depend on foreign aid forever and E-levy is the policy that will ensure our freedom.

Shatta Wale and other Ghanaian celebrities like Yvonne Nelson and Lydia Forson have also expressed their opinions on the E-levy issue.

Passionately addressing what is happening in the country, Shatta Wale disclosed in a viral video that President Akuffo-Addo must listen to the cry of the people and stop behaving like Ghana is his family property.

He called on the youth to rise and take a stand against policies that will destroy the country. Shatta said the E-Levy would have been a good policy if the economy was booming not when there is hardship.

Vocal actresses Yvonne Nelson and Lydia Forson also shared their two cents on the issue.

Lydia Forson indicated in a series of tweets that the E-Levy will push the country back in growth and development.

“What was gradually making Ghana a cashless society is now going to set us back, because trust me, for poor people EVERY CEDI COUNTS. Why do you think people ask you to add charges for momo when it should be their cost?

“I went to the pharmacy yesterday. When it was time to pay, I took out my phone to send the money. I found myself pausing to ask if the #ELevy had started? They said no. I still opted to pay in cash. Y’all don’t get how survival kicks in when your back is against the wall.”

Yvonne Nelson also said believing in the current government and its policies is like believing it will snow in a country like Ghana.
