General News of Saturday, 12 May 2018Source: ghananewsagency.orgNDC candidate slams Assembly decision to levy uncompleted buildingsMasahudu AdamAn aspiring Deputy Treasurer of National Democratic Congress (NDC) for Wa Central Constituency has questioned the bases for the Municipal Assembly to levy uncompleted buildings and parcels of undeveloped lands for building residential houses. He warned that any move by the Municipal Assembly to levy those facilities had the tendency of aggravating poverty levels of the people who are already impoverished due to unavailable employment avenues and sustainable income generating activities. He said the NPP administration was facing serious revenue mobilisation challenge to finance myriad of projects and initiatives it promised and won the hearts of the electorates to scoop power from the NDC in 2016. Somebody is unable to complete his building and you are going to task that uncompleted building,” he said. He told the house that the Assembly had made some proposals including property rates for consideration for the 2018 fiscal year.
