Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is among Twitter's trend list for today, April 7.
The reason Twitter is chirping loudly is because the Vice President, after a loud silence on the state of the Ghanaian economy, will finally touch on the subject.
Following the introduction of the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-levy) by Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta in November last year, Ghanaians have called on the Vice President to share his take on government's initiative. But he has been silence for close to five months.
Dr Bawumia's opinion on the matter is significant for Ghanaians because he once said it is not appropriate to tax electronic transactions.
