Minority demands accountability for GH¢1 levy.

The Minority in Parliament is demanding full disclosure on the use of proceeds from the GH¢1 fuel levy.

The Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament’s Energy Committee, Collins Adomako Mensah, made this known when reacting to the government’s decision to remove some taxes from fuel.

Despite backing the intervention, Mr Adomako Mensah raised concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding the GH¢1 fuel levy, which was introduced to support the energy sector.

He said that the law requires the government to account for the funds collected and how they have been used.

“The law stipulated that the government was to report to Parliament by the 31st of March as to how much had accrued to the fund from the GH¢1 and how it had been used,” he said.

According to him, that obligation has not yet been met. “Up till now, that has not been presented to Parliament. We are not too sure how much has come and how it has been used,” he added.
