Sam George promises swift removal of ‘useless taxes’ in the upcoming budget. Ghanaian politician Samuel Nartey George has ignited public discourse by declaring the imminent removal of several controversial taxes introduced during the Nana Akufo-Addo government’s tenure.
In a direct response to a social media user on X, Sam George committed to eliminating what he characterized as “useless and obnoxious taxes” in the first budget to be presented before the end of March, targeting levies including the COVID-19 levy, financial sector recovery levy, energy sector levy, and growth & sustainability levy.
The statement, which quickly gained traction online, reflects the mounting public frustration with the tax burden imposed during the previous administration and signals a potential policy shift under the new political leadership.
As a prominent member of the National Democratic Congress who recently secured re-election for the Ningo-Prampram Constituency, George’s pronouncement carries significant political weight and resonates with citizens seeking economic relief.
The proposed tax removals could provide financial breathing room for Ghanaian businesses and individuals struggling with economic challenges.
George’s bold claim has reignited discussions about fiscal policy, government accountability, and the promises made during electoral campaigns.
With the upcoming budget presentation, all eyes will be on the new government to see whether these commitments will translate into concrete economic reforms that bring tangible relief to Ghanaian citizens.
