Founder and flagbearer of the National Democratic Party, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings

Even Pampers have taxes on them – Nana Konadu
Founder and flagbearer of the National Democratic
Party (NDP) Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings has
bemoaned the excessive taxation of the Ghanaian
economy, saying it is counterproductive.

“No country has ever developed through over
taxation.”

The former First Lady expressed this on
Wednesday, July 27 when she took the seat for the
maiden Conversation of the Institute of Economic
Affairs (IEA).

The Conversation has been created for
presidential candidates of political parties that
do not have representation in parliament.

Nana Konadu said Ghanaians have been shortchanged
by the current National Democratic Congress (NDC)
government, saying the past four years have seen a
reward of economic hardship.

She said every Ghanaian directly or indirectly is
being taxed and that is having a toll on
development, particularly the growth of
industries.

She said the taxes are even imposed on baby
diapers.

“Even a new born baby with the Pampers have
taxes on it.”

She said: “I will not sit back and do nothing
while the gap between the rich and poor grows
wider”.
