Adding her voice to that of the masses, Wendy Shay took to her Twitter page to beg the president to intervene in the depressing situation.
In her tweet, the ‘Survivor’ hitmaker mentioned that she was aware that the president has the welfare of Ghanaians at hand, however, on the amount of Ghanaians are paying at the Tema port, the first gentleman must look into the matter.
She went on to compare the staggering amount Ghanaian importers mostly have to pay on cars they bring into the country.
The Rufftown Records signee disclosed that a car bought in the US for $35,000 would require an additional $30,000 in import duties, which is over a whooping Ghc397,000.
“Your excellency @NAkufoAddo Mr president, I know you have the welfare of Ghanaians at heart but can you please do something about import duties, especially on cars? The import duties on cars are way Outrageous. You buy a car in the US for $35,000 (397,707.10 Cedis) and pay $30,000 USD (340,891.80 Cedis) as duty. Please do something Mr. President,” she wrote.
