Ghanaian musician Criss Waddle has once again thrown jabs at the New Patriotic Party (NPP), claiming they would have exploited the US-China trade war and recent events surrounding the new Pope to impose additional levies on Ghanaians.
In a post shared on X on May 9, 2025, Criss Waddle mocked the NPP, claiming the party would have introduced bizarre taxes, such as a “Pope levy” and a “Trump levy”, if they had remained in power.
To buttress his point, he referenced how the NPP introduced a ‘COVID levy’ during the pandemic and stirred public anxiety with frequent national addresses.
“Like by now, there will be ‘Fellow Ghanaians’ and the whole country will start to panic due to the Pope’s death. We Ghanaians living somewhere would have to begin paying the Pope levy, Trump levy, and China levy of 8.90,000%,” he wrote.
The Bie Gya hitmaker also lamented the economic hardships Ghanaians endured under the NPP’s administration, adding, “Herh! We’ve suffered before.”
His post has sparked reactions on social media, with some users agreeing with his sentiments and criticising the past government’s handling of the economy.
