Some agreed with her while others held the view that paying the levy would not have been such an issue if the people would be made aware of the revenue generated and what use it has been put.

You know.. It wouldn't be an issue for an average Ghanaian if they could give us accounts on the revenue generated via E levy. Sadly we won't get any form of accountability. That's where most of us if not all have issues with the whole thing
