Afia Schwarzenegger has slammed the current government’s media team for providing substandard services to their employers. As a result of the E-levy squabble, she labeled them as weak and incompetent.
A Tiktok video of Afia Schwarzenegger blaming the government’s media staff for the public’s indignation over the E-levy has sparked considerable debate. To the wrath of the party’s footsoldiers, the Chief of Staff was recently hauled for a contribution of GH50,000 to her father’s burial.
She said, “Welcome to Ghana where the government communication is weak, and they will not employ competent people to do proper communication. If not, you do know that we are already paying E-levy. Or you don’t know?
Because when you make a transfer right now that I’m talking to you when you make a mobile money transfer, you pay about GH¢1.00 or so. So we are already paying the E-levy. So the government is just going to increase it.”
Afia Schwarzenegger then offered solutions to the present E-levy situation. She said that the government should have concealed behind telecommunications firms to carry out their evil bidding. And that way, they would still retain favour with the people.
“What the government should have done is to keep quiet and hid behind the Telco’s and make them increase it to GH¢3.00. Then the government would turn around and order the telco’s to reduce it to GH¢2.00. So that the government will look like heroes to Ghanaians. But as I’m saying, the government communication is weak, and they will not employ competent people. Because for E-levy, everyone using mobile money is already paying. What they will do is to increase the tariff.
“So you people should stop saying you won’t pay the E-levy. Instead, say you won’t agree for the government to increase the charges,” Afia Schwarzenegger concluded.
