Mr. Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, a senior partner at Africa Legal Associates, is calling for a public debate on whether Ghana should return to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or rely on the proposed Electronic Transactions Levy (E-levy).
Mr. Otchere-Darko stated in a tweet on Thursday that the year “2022 began without the normal US$3 billion injection of Eurobond capital.”

He wrote that the government’s post-COVID recovery GhanaCARES programme is hinging partly on the E-levy, which Parliament may not approve.

On that note, he proposed a national debate on whether or not Ghana should go to the IMF or rely on the E-levy or take up both or none.

He concluded his tweet with, “Tough decisions confront Ghana.”

“There should be a national debate: do we want IMF or E-Levy or both or none? Tough decisions confront Ghana.”
