The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has come under serious public backlash on social media after a revelation that the party would have taxed every single electronic transaction (uniform e-transaction fee) if they had won the 2020 elections.
At page 99 of the NDC’s People’s Manifesto 2020 under the sub-heading, Financial Inclusion and Electronic Payments, the NDC stated that it will “introduce a uniform transaction fee policy to guide the electronic payments industry”.

#Page99 which is the number one trending hashtag on Twitter has seen thousands of Ghanaians airing their disappointment at the NDC for what appears to be a massive deception by the opposition party.
Below are some of the tweets:
