Ghanaian rapper, Kwaw Kese
Ghanaian musician, Kwaw Kese, has thrown his weight behind the newly introduced GH¢1 petroleum levy imposed by the NDC government.
In a video shared on Instagram on June 9, 2025, Kwaw Kese noted that he would choose the “Dumsor Levy” over the E-Levy, which the previous NPP government implemented.
He explained that the NDC government is not demanding a lot from Ghanaians, therefore, it would be advisable if the citizens could do away with politics and focus on building a better country.
“The price of fuel has been reduced from GH¢16 to GH¢12 per liter. Which means he has dashed Ghanaians GH¢4. And if he is now saying that, give GH¢1 out of the GH¢4… I think it makes sense.
“I know some people will make politics out of this. But I think it makes sense if we want to build a great nation. I will advise us to put the politics aside and work towards how we can develop the country,” he said.
On Tuesday, June 3, 2025, Parliament passed the Energy Sector Levy (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
The new bill introduces a GH¢1 levy on petroleum products, intended to help offset Ghana’s longstanding energy sector debt and support stable electricity supply.
