Comedian DKB has announced that he will cancel his Mobile Money account beginning May 1 because of the controversial Electronic Levy which will commence in May 2022.
Speaking in an interview on April 12 born Derrick Kobina Bonney made the revelation known.
Speaking on Kessben FM he said; “I’m going to cancel my Momo account.”
The presenter, Preko Dankwa pointed out that the tax is intended to boost the development of the nation but DKB suggested that the government raise the amount and make Ghanaians aware of it use so Ghanaians will know what they are sacrificing for.
They should increase the E-levy to 70% so that we can see that we are assisting the nation.” Why are they putting a tax on our wallets? The reason we refer to it as a pocketbook is because all of the taxes have already been taken from the total. Instead, they should levy taxes on everything,” he said.
“Did you realize that tourism contributes $2 billion to our economy? That’s about $8 billion in today’s money. We can gain more from tourism if we concentrate our efforts on it than we will earn from the E-levy.”
“According to the Audit Service, we have a leakage of 12 billion pounds.” Despite the fact that you have not stopped the leak, you have provided them with a larger basket to gather water in. Are there not going to be further leaks in the future?
“How can you expect me to be pleased when the person who stated they shouldn’t tax MOMO is the same person who now says they should tax MOMO?” Make the E-levy 75% of the total, and we will know that we are assisting the nation. If anything isn’t quite right, we’ll let you know.”
“It’s as if when someone expresses their actual opinions, they are expressing their opposition to the nation. What exactly do I have against the country? It makes me feel uneasy because it is unfair,” he added.
