The Majority Caucus in Parliament has accused the erstwhile Mahama administration of illegally granting tax exemption to cement manufacturing firm Dzata Cement.
The Caucus alleged that former President John Dramani Mahama, through executive authorization, designated some firms which includes Dzata cement as strategic investors and offered them tax waivers without recourse to Parliamentary approval.
Speaking to journalists in Accra on Thursday, May 30, the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin urged the Minority Caucus to support the government’s quest to industrialise the economy by offering tax exemptions to companies under the One District, One Factory policy.
