The newly imposed taxes announced in the 2021 budget are already set to weigh effect on the people of Ghana from May 1, 2021. "The people of Ghana are already saddled with the heightening cost of construction materials, food, electricity bills, water bills, cost of domestic house rents among many other basics. As always, it is the people who have and continued to suffer most," the group said in a statement. Government tax Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, has said the government will review existing road tolls and align them with current market rates to ensure improvement on the roads. That, he said, would form part of the framework for promoting burden-sharing as the government sought to transform the road and infrastructure sector in a post-COVID-19 era.
