Ghanaian musician and member of now-defunct 4×4, Captain Planet, has supported the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following its passage of a GH¢1 Dumsor Levy.
In a post shared on X on June 4, 2025, Captain Planet noted that he fully supports the GH¢1 fee charged on petroleum products so long as he can enjoy stable electricity and a good economy.
He explained that Ghanaians should be interested in the betterment of the country rather than political parties. Therefore, he said he is always ready to pay the “Dumsor Levy.”
“I paid all these taxes on a single product for the NPP government, so how much is GH¢1 to help me enjoy stable electricity? Put politics aside, let’s build the nation. Me I say go pay, what be your problem?
“I promise to pay the 1 cedi fuel levy so I can enjoy my stable electricity. We’re building a nation, not a political party. All hands on deck,” he said.
Captain Planet further called on Ghanaians to pay the imposed levy the same way they did during the tenure of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“The same way we paid all those levies to the NPP government, we should be able to pay for the NDC government too for a better Ghana,” he added.
Background
On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, Parliament approved the Energy Sector Fee (Amendment) Bill 2025, which imposes a GH¢1 levy.
The goal of the levy is to generate more revenue to pay off the country’s chronic energy sector debt and guarantee a steady supply of electricity.
