Popular Ghanaian singer Wendy Shay took to Twitter to express her concerns about the high cost of import duties in Ghana, specifically on vehicles. In a tweet addressed to President Nana Akufo-Addo, she pleaded for his attention to this matter.

In her tweet, Wendy Shay began by acknowledging the President's dedication to the welfare of Ghanaians. She then highlighted the exorbitant import duties imposed on cars in the country. She provided an example to support her argument, stating that purchasing a car for $35,000 in the United States would result in an additional $30,000 in import duties when brought into Ghana.
