Ghanaian man of God, Rev. Sam Korankye Ankrah has urged the federal government to thoughts the way in which it spends if it needs Ghanaians to pay taxes willingly.

It may very well be recalled that almost all Ghanaians are complaining about how politicians reside their lives, spending massively and later turning round to dump taxes on residents.

One in all such situations is the controversial E-levy that’s but to be handed. Many Ghanaians are unwilling to pay this tax as a result of they really feel the federal government has not completed sufficient for them to make them pay extra taxes.

“We’re asking the members of the ruling class to point out the instance by slicing down our nationwide expenditure, they have to punish themselves a bit of bit and once we see that expenditure is being lower down, in the event that they name upon us to pay taxes, no matter they ask us to pay, we will pay with gladness and willingness as a result of everyone knows that all of us endure to realize.

The rationale we elect you into public workplace is to guard the purse and the monies of this nation to develop and to maneuver this nation ahead. We don’t elect them to amass wealth for themselves and to neglect about us as soon as they get to that place. That is what brings anger and that is what brings the type of challenges we’ve got in Africa right here. But when our flesh pressers place at their coronary heart, at first, the will to see this nation transfer ahead, all of us as residents of this nation can have an equitable share of the nationwide cake.

In the event that they be sure that our younger individuals will get the roles to do, if they’ll be sure that individuals can put meals on their desk thrice a day, if they’ll be sure that our youngsters are educated, if they’ll be sure that on the finish of the day, all people can get a spot to put your heads, no person will complain, no person will struggle, there might be no agitation and there might be no motive for any navy intervention in our nation.”
