My beloved constituents of Ejisu and the people of Ghana,
I speak today not just as a politician, but as a concerned Ghanaian who, like you, is feeling the full weight of government policies that have become unbearable. I find it important to address a matter of national significance—one that exposes the gross hypocrisy and insensitivity of the current NDC government.*
*It is no secret that, while in opposition, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) capitalized on the frustrations of Ghanaians to condemn and resist the Electronic Levy (E-Levy) introduced by the previous administration.* They called it *daylight robbery, an unnecessary burden, and a tax on hardship* . *Many of us listened.* *Many believed them.* *But today, what has changed?*
*Ironically, the same NDC, now in government, has turned around to implement an even more draconian policy in the name of the Energy Levy, another “E-levy” that is far worse in its impact* . *Unlike the previous E-Levy, whose benefits were clear and whose implementation was met with cautious adjustments, the Energy Levy has become a thorn in our flesh. I* t affects every Ghanaian household, small businesses, and struggling industries—without any sign of relief.
How can a government that once claimed to be the voice of the people now remain silent while our energy bills skyrocket?* *How can they justify such a levy when Ghanaians are still recovering from economic shocks?.
We were promised better.We were told there would be alternatives. Yet today, we are paying more for electricity, fuel, and the basic cost of living—all because of a policy that was never properly debated, never transparently explained, and is now wreaking havoc across the country.
I, Hon. Solomon Osei-Mainoo* , popularly known as “ Abi Solo, ” will not sit quietly while my people suffer. *I call on the NDC government to immediately review this harsh Energy Levy. I urge all well-meaning Ghanaians to rise and demand accountability.* Let us not be *deceived by political rhetoric* . *The truth is simple: the same NDC that condemned a levy in opposition has imposed a worse one in power.
Enough is enough.
Signed :
Hon. Solomon Osei-Mainoo (Abi Solo)
