@BBSimons Galamsey is more than the ssnit sale of the hotel. This menace goes to the core of our very existence. What is organized labor doing about it? The Gh we hope for our generations will be gone. Not only must we demand for it to be stopped but hold them accountable for their crimes.
In all protest situations, true, the police have to weigh the right of the people to assemble against the possibility that the assembly will lead to a breach of public order. So, one day in the UK, the police stopped a train of protesters 3 miles away from the site of an ongoing protest. Upon searching the train, the police believed that the protesters intended to cause a breach of the peace. They sealed the train and escorted the protestors back to London. The protestors sued for unlawful arrest. The police argued that they were exercising their power to prevent a breach of the peace. The House of Lords held that the arrest was unlawful, as breach of the peace was not imminent enough to outweigh the protestors’ right to assemble. In other words, the gathering of people for a protest in itself alone is no evidence that public peace will be breached.
We took an invoice from one of the Telecom companies in Ghana (right) and recomputed all the taxes by hand (left) to show you how these are calculated.
Your
- DSTV subscription fees
- Mobile Airtime/Internet Data/Broadband etc
will all follow this same computation
Same conclusion, taxes are imposed on taxes
For example, here
VAT = 15% x (A + B + C + D + E)
Dear Government, We need to simplify our VAT system in Ghana. Let’s go back to basics. And let’s allow all inputs to be deductible.
The Government introduced this 1% COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy in March 2021. The Act said this 1% levy was to “support COVID-19 expenditures”
Over 2 years down the line, this levy is still charged on most locally procured goods and services. It’s also charged on almost all imports into Ghana.
Dear Government, this levy has outlived its purpose. It’s time to repeal this Act.
@kwaku_rafiki@konkrumah We're in this country where every year we go for Cocoa syndicated loan. If our lands are destroy we'll for galamsey Syndicated Loans. #StopGalamseyNow
@kwaku_rafiki@konkrumah The effect of galamsey is that, we as a country and a people, we are we're killing ourselves slowly. If we don't act now, it won't be long and we'll have a crisis on our hands, both health and environmental. #StopGalamseyNow
@kwaku_rafiki@konkrumah The effects of galamsey is Long term. The lands n water bodies r being polluted. This same land wld be used to grow food for us to eat and the water treated for us to drink. If this doesn't tell us anything, I'm sorry as a country we have a long way to go #StopGalamseyNow
@utvghana The standard of test for MPs and Ministers are higher than an ordinary citizen. So, for a person of his caliber to be on a platform and be making such a comment is unfortunate. His comment shld be condemned by authorities, esp the npp. NPP & NDC #Sovereignty resides in the people
Can we please just STOP the charade that being a former president means ANYTHING legally? Trump is a private citizen - nothing more. If we did what he is alleged to have done we'd be in jail. He should have faced charges already. He should have been arraigned by now. #DeadlineWH
@Citi973 This is scripted. Judging by the nature of politics in this country, the president controls his mps in parliament. They cannot by themselves call on the president to sack one of their own. This is all planned to score cheap points, but we won't fall this.
Attack on Police in the Ongoing Arise Ghana Demonstration
What a shame, we were there to protect you and ensure your safety, but you throw stones at us, injure and hurt us.
This behaviour is unacceptable and must be condemned.
