The presidential candidate of National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former President John Dramani Mahama has made bold promises regarding economic reforms and taxation policies during a recent town hall meeting with Bukom residents.<\/p>\n

The event, part of his campaign strategy for the upcoming elections, showcased Mahama\u2019s commitment to addressing pressing economic issues faced by Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr Mahama vowed to eliminate the Electronic Levy (E-Levy) and the tax on bet winnings if he is elected.<\/p>\n

He criticized the E-Levy for failing to generate the expected revenue and for placing an undue financial burden on citizens.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mahama argued that the tax on bet winnings unfairly targets individuals who are already struggling financially.<\/p>\n

By abolishing these taxes, he aims to ease the financial strain on ordinary Ghanaians and establish a fairer tax system.<\/p>\n
