Ghanaian Drivers' Struggle: The D-Levy's Heavy Toll

Ghanaian Drivers Voice Concerns Over New D-Levy: 'It's Crushing Us' The recent implementation of the D-Levy, a tax on digital transactions in Ghana, is causing significant hardship for many, particularly transport workers. In a video circulating online, drivers share their struggles with the new tax. The interviews took place at a busy transport hub in an unnamed Ghanaian city. "This D-Levy is killing us," said one driver, visibly frustrated. "We are already struggling with fuel prices, and now this extra tax makes it even harder to make ends meet." Another driver added, "The government says this money is for development, but we don't see the improvements. The roads are still bad, and our income is shrinking." The video also includes footage of ongoing road construction projects. While the government intends the D-Levy to fund infrastructure improvements, the drivers' concerns highlight the disconnect between policy and its impact on the ground. Their voices offer a crucial perspective on the economic realities faced by ordinary Ghanaians.
