Mr. Michael Okyere Kofi Baafi, Member of Parliament for the people of New Juaben South Constituency in the Eastern Region have on Monday, February 14, 2022 embarked on a E-Levy market to market sensitization campaign to ensure the market men and women understand the proposed electronic transaction tax.

Addressing the market people in Koforidua, Mr. Baafi said, the NPP gov’t won’t collect the E-Levy money to spend it but rather The money would be used on infrastructure projects for Ghanaians, it will benefit everybody in the country.

He said, since the era of Prez Dr. Kwame Nkrumah till now, Ghana have borrowed money from the white men to run the affairs of this country which doesn’t help in any way. So as it stands now going to International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a support is not an optional.

Thus, Prez Akufo-Addo say, we can’t continue borrowing money to run the affairs of this country anymore; hence there is the need for Ghanaians to accept the propose E-Levy bill.

Mr. Michael Baafi, who doubles as the Deputy Trade Minister stressed, population of Ghana is little above 30 million but only 2.4 million people pay their tax to the gov’t.

“How can the country get money to do developmental projects for its citizens,” he asked?.

“Meanwhile the white men use taxes to develop their countries and Ghana can also do same therefore Ghanaians should bare with the Gov’t to implement the E-Levy taxation”.

Furthermore, he told Kingdom TV/FM KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH that, the NDC MPs in parliament are all fully in support of the E-Levy.

“But they fear that when they come out publicly to say it, they might lose their seats in the upcoming 2024 general elections” he added.

Contrary to claims that, Ntronang, a community in the Okere district of the Eastern region is facing acute water challenges, our independent verification proves otherwise.

The community has a mechanised water system built for them by, Hon. Dan Botwe, the Member of Parliament for the area, through his share of the Common fund

The water system completed in October last year has been fixed with a power generator to pump water through an overhead reservoir due to the absence of electricity.

Residents, who hitherto trecked long hours in search of water could heave some sigh of relief when the MP sunk the borehole.

Some news portals including newsafricaoline.com reported, a few days ago about how residents of Ntronang, have for years, been faced with water challenges; leading them to no option than to resort to other sources of unhygienic and running waters from gutters.

The reportage went on to paint a rather gloomy spectacle of a community suffering from many health complications due to the lack of water.

Reacting to the story, the District Chief Executive for Okere, Daniel Nana Addo Kenneth, however, expressed surprised over claims that residents could resort to unhygienic sources of water when they have potable source of water built for them by government.

” There’s a mechanized borehole at Ntronang. How come the news item didn’t mention it.
Secondly there’s no Ghana water pipelines at Ntronang.
In fact there’s no presence of Ghana water pipelines at the entire downtowns of Okere hence cannot connect the community into GWCL, that’s why we sunk this borehole for them until Ghana water extends its pipelines to the community”. He lamented
