According to John Mahama, Ghana must take advantage of recent gains created by appreciation in the value to accelerate solutions to our energy sector challenges.

Speaking at the Jubilee House on Tuesday during the presentation of the final report of the National Economic Dialogue 2025, John Mahama stated, “This was not a decision we took lightly. Though difficult, it is necessary and justifiable.”

He added, “ We must take advantage of recent gains created by appreciation in the value of our currency to accelerate the solution to our energy sector challenges”.

The Energy Sector Levy Amendment Bill 2025 introduces a GH¢1 increase in the levy on petroleum products.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia the former vice president and NPP presidential candidate in the 2024 election has stated the NDC government has introduced a dumsor levy eight times the e-levy.

According to Dr Bawumia, the NDC scrapped the e-levy and now they have brought a dumsor levy, 8 times the e-levy.

Dr Bawumia noted that for the e-levy when u send a momo of 1000 cedis you pay 10 cedis but for the dumsor levy 1000 cedis worth of fuel you pay 83 cedis as new taxes.

Speaking during his ongoing NPP Thank You Tour, Dr Bawumia detailed, “The NDC told so many lies, and every day people are now realising the lies they told, yesterday evening you all saw what happened, they brought a dumsor levy.

They first said we brought e-levy so they are going to scrap it, they scrapped it and they have now introduced the dumsor levy which is 8 times the e-levy”.

He added, “Today if you buy 1 litre of petrol you will pay 1 cedis,  If you buy GHC 1000 worth of fuel, you will pay GHC 83 in new taxes. The e-levy when you send some GHC 1000 momo you pay 10 cedis but for them, for 1000 you will pay 83 cedis for fuel.

I can assure you there are more taxes coming, by the time we will get to 2028 Ghanaians will realise the NDC told so many lies and I am sure they will tell us to come again to come and fix things”.
