The Eastern Regional Minister, Seth Acheampong, has urged Ghanaians to embrace the electronic levy proposed by the government.
According to him, the E-Levy is a critical tool for ensuring that government has the funds to invest in entrepreneurship, youth empowerment, and road infrastructure.
He stressed that the E-Levy would prevent the government from borrowing from the money market, forcing it to fight for cash with the private sector.
Seth Acheampong made the comment during the 30th anniversary of fast-food giant Papaye Group Ghana over the weekend.
He called on the group to be innovative in order to compete with other fast foods companies in the world.
