This is rather at once funny and ironic, because it clearly demonstrates that former President Mahama learned little or absolutely nothing from his former boss and immediate predecessor vis-à-vis the dynamics of the revenue-collection system in the country. We call what Mr. Allotey Jacobs is demanding “double-standards” in the part of Ghana where I was born and raised. If Mr. Allotey Jacobs is not here poignantly and virulently accusing the former President of criminally abusing his executive powers to enable his younger brother dupe the nation to the tune of millions of cedis in tax revenue, then I don’t know what else the Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress is implying here. And for his personal enlightenment and that of his NDC associates and cronies, Mr. Allotey Jacobs need not worry about the perennial tax-evasion leak caused by many a foreign-owned firm or company operating in the country. And this is what none of the leaders of the National Democratic Congress appears to have learned.
