Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian actress and activist, Lydia Forson, has reacted to the passing of the contentious Electronic Levy in parliament.
On Tuesday, the Electronic Transactions Bill, which has been a source of controversy, was approved in its third reading. Even before the bill was enacted, the minority withdrew their support.
Lydia Forson said in a blog post that if the E-Levy has a positive impact on the nation, she would be the first to admit she was mistaken about it.
She wrote on Twitter: “If this #elevy really does transform this country the way they say it will; I will be first in line to admit I was wrong, until then….”
She also mentioned what would have made her appreciate the E-Levy more.
“If the #elevy was framed like the Agaciro Development Fund; a fund citizens contribute to in Rwanda, to help make the country less dependent on foreign aid(which I learnt about on one of my trips there) I would have appreciated it more because I actually loved the idea.”
