Ghanaian NDC Accused of False Claim on Tax Abolition: Video Evidence Emerges

Ghanaian Politics: Fact-Checking the NDC's Claim on Communication Service Tax The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ghana has been accused of falsely claiming they promised to abolish the Communication Service Tax. A recent video circulating online presents evidence to challenge this assertion. The video includes clips from a press conference and a heated parliamentary debate between Hon. Ato Forson and Hon. Afenyo Markin in 2023. "The NDC never promised to remove the Communication Service Tax," asserts a speaker shown in the video, citing the party's parliamentary record. This statement is supported by footage from the parliamentary debate, where the NDC's opposition to the tax's removal is clearly visible. The video's creator aims to debunk the NDC's claim, presenting a counter-narrative to what they perceive as misinformation. The use of video evidence from official sources such as parliament adds weight to the argument. While the video is presented with a clear bias, the underlying issue of accurate political reporting and the importance of verifying claims remains crucial in the Ghanaian political landscape. The debate highlights the need for transparency and accountability from political parties in their promises to the electorate.
