Meanwhile, the government has urged Ghanaians to support the 1.75% electronic levy.

The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwesi Amoako-Atta has tasked road contractors in the country to get behind the government's effort to get the E-levy passed.

According to him, if the E-levy is passed, it will enable the government to settle its debt obligations to them.

Speaking at a meeting with the leadership of the Road Contactors Association, the Minister, Kwasi Amoako-Atta also mentioned that a number of deplorable roads will be fixed when the E-Levy is implemented.

"When the E-levy is implemented, the road sector will get its fair share. All contractors owed by the government will be paid. A number of deplorable roads will be fixed when the E-Levy is introduced because all contractors we owe will be paid. You are going to benefit directly from its implementation. No serious government will joke with its contractors," he said.
