1. The next fuel coupon receiver to tell you that it’s just 1 cedi per litre deserves a slap. Don’t let the privileged insult your intelligence. Abufusem. Those are the ones, even making my blood boil.

2. They will keep their largesse, keep stealing and mismanaging VRA, ECG, GOIL, TOR. Then when it blows up, tax us to pay for it.

3. Absolute lack of accountability of the political class. In all this not a single person has been jailed in this ECG mess.

4. Keep stealing and using our livelihoods as your bailout programme.

5. This isn’t just about the quantum of the tax. Excessive as it is. It’s also about how our wounds are fresh and our memory still haunted

6. It’s about how you guys brought ESLA, promised us that it will take care of all energy legacy debt. We overpaid for that debt. You even went ahead collatorized it and it has become a permanent tax.

7. There was also the TOR debt recovery Levy. We paid over 1 billion more than the debt. And despite pleas to end it, it went on and on. Today TOR owes 570 million dollars.

8. Don’t get me started on E-Levy. We have barely recovered from its trauma. But before E-Levy came the Communications service tax.

9. Today you are telling us that it is the Dumsor tax that will save Ghana. Ghana we dey. Poor people will soon fill my comment section with insults, just like what happened last time around.

10. It’s just amazing to me how, as poor as you tell me we are, the corruption economy keeps booming. Rot in the petroleum downstream sector is off the chain. Mustapha Hameed as NPA boss alone stands accused of over 250 million dollars theft.

11. Industry players tell me that the rot there alone loses Ghana at least 3 million every day. No one is ever held accountable. The power players there are fat cats, storing millions in Cayman Bank accounts.

12. Leadership without accountability comes to us at just 1 cedi per litre. Just remember this: guilty desires have guilty ends!

We hear!
