Ayariga highlighted key policy changes, including the abolition of the E-levy, betting tax, and emission levy, as evidence of Mahama’s commitment to fulfilling his pledges ¹.
Ayariga emphasized that the budget reflects Mahama’s dedication to addressing the concerns of Ghanaians, citing the planned removal of VAT on motor vehicle insurance policies.
