Ignorance of Gloria Owusu, MP for Trobu demonstrated

The COVID-19 Levy remains in effect, according to Gloria Owusu, MP for Trobu. The levy was introduced to support Ghana’s response to the pandemic.

Context
The 2026 budget was presented, proposing changes to various taxes, including the COVID-19 Levy. Parliament will review and deliberate on the budget before approval.

Parliamentary Process
A budget presentation doesn’t imply immediate approval. MPs are expected to scrutinize proposals before voting.

Concerns
Some MPs’ understanding of parliamentary processes has been questioned. Critics argue parties should carefully select candidates with the capacity to contribute meaningfully.

Moving Forward
The COVID-19 Levy’s future will be determined after parliamentary deliberations.

COVID-19 Levy still in effect — Gloria Owusu, MP for Trobu. So she doesn’t know that the budget will have to be approved first before the COVID levy can finally be removed?
