Afia Schwar Says She Won’t Pay E-Levy; Explains Why It Does Not Make Sense In Video

• Ghanaian media personality, and actress, Afia Schwar, has said plainly that she will not pay E-levy
• She says the initiative does not make sense and for that matter, there is no way she is going to pay it
• Afia wondered why the government would cancel road toll when Ghanaians have not complained to charge E-levy

Controversial Ghanaian actress, Afia Schwar, has said that she will not pay E-levy, and for that she has collected all the money on her Mobile Money wallet.

Afia Schwar explained that it made no sense for the government to scrap road toll in the name of introducing E-levy, and so she would not pay.

For this reason, Afia says she has already emptied her Mobile Money wallet before May 1, 2022, when the E-levy deductions will start.
