I Will Remove Taxes On Mobile Phones – Bawumia

NPP flagbearer, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized he will remove taxes on mobile phones under his Presidency.

This tax removal is aimed to reduce prices of mobile phones in Ghana, especially to aid the youth in his IT training.

Addressing a mammoth gathering in Koforidua during his tour of the Eastern Region, Dr. Bawumia said as Ghana advances in her digital revolution, there is the need for citizens to have a more affordable access to mobile phones, stressing it is  an essential tool in his digitalization programme.

“One of the things I want to do as President, by the grace of God, is to remove taxes on mobile phones…We will remove the taxes so that the cost of mobile phones in Ghana will be cheaper.”

“With the work we are doing, the digitalization and the work we want to do with the youth, taxes on mobile phones ought to go and I will take them off to make mobile phones cheaper and more affordable in Ghana”, Dr. Bawumia said.

Dr. Bawumia, who has been credited with Ghana’s digital revolution, has announced his intentions to step up Ghana’s digitalization drive.

As part of his measures to turn Ghana into Africa’s digital hub, he has pledged to train one million young Ghanaians in digital skills to prepare them for global opportunities.
