[00:07:27]The chairman, the ELEVY is neither a direct tax, indirect tax, or an excise tax.

[00:07:34]I don't know how to classify the ELEVY as a tax practitioner.

[00:07:40]The chairman, it doesn't mean that I do not recognize that the e-levy brings in certain revenue.

[00:07:46]But the fact remains that the e-levy retards our progress towards a cashless economy and the fintech.

[00:07:55]We need to abolish the e-levy.

[00:07:58]I have said, and I'm on record to have said, that given the opportunity to abolish the e-levy.

[00:08:04]I want to restate that position that if approved as part of the first budget I'll be privileged and I will announce that we will abolish the e-levy as part of our first budget, recognizing my area earlier stance and the commitment that His Excellency the President, President Mahama said that as part of our 120-day agenda we will abolish the e-levy. We stand by that. We stand by that and I can assure you the e-levy will go in the next within the next within the 120-day s calendar that we've announced. Thank you.

[00:14:51]We are not interested in the suspension.

[00:14:53]We are interested in how come but for the public outcry they were going to spring the surprise on the Ghanaian public. We are simply saying NDC is a scam.

[00:15:05]It's a government of settings.

[00:15:07]They don't believe in what they say.

[00:15:11]I repeat, the NDC government does not believe in what it says.

[00:15:18]It says one thing and does another.

[00:15:21]They again do not have our trained teachers and our trained nurses.

[00:15:27]They give one excuse after the other.

[00:15:31]>> According to Afornyo Markin, a year MP P minority leader, I say NDC government, you know, a year scam.

[00:15:41]One, NDC government a year the government of certain things. Two, NDC government any policy.

[00:15:53]Three, NDC government they don't believe what they say. Four, Ghana uh Afornyo Markin, a year MP minority leader Ababon Tia Wabeka.

[00:16:11]Allegation And I want to know how I do it.

[00:16:23]NDC leader I mean NDC leader, many Afornyo Markin a year I do it 100%.

[00:16:33]And I will give you the reason why.

[00:16:36]Make you say many Afornyo Markin a year MP minority leader, you know, many Afornyo I do it 100%.

[00:16:46]And I will give you the reason why.

[00:16:49]Okay.

[00:16:50]When my year share video, we >> Come and PAY THE NURSES.

[00:17:14]COME AND PAY THE NURSES.

[00:17:17]YOU OWE them almost 30 months of arrears.

[00:17:23]Some of them have left school without receiving the allowances.

[00:17:28]And some of them are going to leave school again without receiving the allowances.

[00:17:35]But one thing I can assure you, it is about jobs.

[00:17:40]And NDC is committed to jobs.

[00:17:43]And so we're going to create the situation where we can employ as many of you as possible.

[00:17:49]What the MPP does is they don't employ for 4 years.

[00:17:55]Then when it's getting to elections, they quickly say, "Oh, we've opened the portal for employment."

[00:18:02]And so they say they've got financial clearance to employ 15,000 nurses.

[00:18:08]Why have you waited till 3 months to elections before you say you're going to employ 15,000 nurses?

[00:18:16]And which ones are you going to employ?

[00:18:18]Are you going to start from 4 years ago or 5 years ago?

[00:18:22]Which batches are you going to employ?

[00:18:25]And that is why we must create a condition so that when you are coming out of training, we are sending you into employment at once.

[00:18:36]>> [cheering] >> A zoo.

[00:18:39]I make you a commitment.

[00:18:42]When I come, the hospitals we are building that have been abandoned by this government, we will continue them.

[00:18:50]When I come, the Agenda 111 hospitals they are building, I'll continue and finish them.

[00:19:02]>> According to Agya President John Dramani Mahama, 2024 a minimum wage position.

[00:19:09]I say NPP government and brother Martin Amidu government MPP government President John Dramani Mahama Okay.
