John Boadu slams Kwesi Pratt over 'E-Levy Akobalm' comment

John Boadu, General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party, NPP, has chastised veteran journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr for his views on E-Levy.

Pratt had in an interview earlier this week mocked the levy as a solution to all economic and human ailments.

However, speaking in a one-on-one interview on Peace FM's The Platform programme, John Boadu felt the renowned journalist was not taking the current economic crises seriously.

"Which people have been saying if there's no E-Levy, there won't be schooling (Free SHS)....? it's only him (Kwesi Pratt); he's the only one who exaggerates.

"Whenever new taxes are being introduced, there are agitations and so there's nothing wrong . . . we should not trivialize our current situation; these are real issues we face as a country," he cautioned.
