Ghanaian man, Kyekyeku, recently expressed his frustration with the exorbitant duty fees he had to pay for his car. He described the fees as “extremely” expensive, prompting calls for action to address the issue.
High import duties on vehicles in Ghana have been a long-standing concern for many citizens. The high fees not only make it difficult for individuals to afford cars, but also impact the overall cost of living in the country.
According to Kyekyeku, the government needs to take immediate action to address the issue of high car duties. He believes that reducing the fees would make car ownership more accessible for Ghanaians and contribute to economic growth.
While import duties on vehicles are intended to protect local industries and generate revenue for the government, many argue that the current fees are simply too high. Advocates for change argue that a more balanced approach is needed to ensure that duties do not become a barrier to car ownership for the average Ghanaian citizen.
It is clear that the burden of high car duties in Ghana is a pressing issue that requires attention.
As citizens like Kyekyeku continue to voice their frustrations, it is hoped that the government will take steps to address the concern and alleviate the financial burden on individuals who simply want to own a car.
