Akufo-Addo Deceived Ghanaians With His Big English – Yvonne Nelson
Award-wining Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has taken a ditch at President Nana Akufo-Addo following the implementation of the E-levy.
According to her, President Nana Addo only lured Ghanaians with his ‘big English’ and has since failed to deliver his campaign promises to the citizens.
The E-levy which was recently passed into law by Parliament deductions officially started on Sunday, May 1, 2022, with a 1.5% tax imposed on transactions above GHc100 between different mobile money or bank accounts.
