Speaking during the launch of his Great Transformation Agenda on June 24, he stated that he would also abolish the Ghana Health Service disinfection fee.
He emphasised the need to eliminate these fees, questioning their relevance in 2024.
“How can we be collecting COVID fee and disinfection fee in 2024?” he questioned.

“With a view to eliminating all nuisance taxes and thereby reducing the tax burden on importers. The policy prescriptions will make Ghana have the lowest tax rate regime in ECOWAS within a period of three years.”
