The Dormaa Central Municipal Chief Executive, Honorable Dominic Adoma Ameyaw, has urged the residents of Dormaa, as well as the nation as a whole, to cultivate a habit of timely tax payments in order to promote the development and progress of Dormaa and the country at large.
He emphasized that taxes constitute the primary method of revenue generation for any nation to facilitate development, hence it is imperative for all individuals, whether public servants or private workers, to fulfill their tax obligations, given the increasing demands for development by the populace over time. He said the payment of taxes is essential to achieve the necessary development and progress.
He made this appeal during his visit to churches in Masu, Asikasu, Nsuhia, and Kokorasua, all within the Dormaa Central municipality, to raise awareness about environmental cleanliness, drug abuse, and the importance of tax payments.
He emphasized that the Dormaa Central Municipal Assembly possesses DRIP machines for the purpose of reshaping and constructing deteriorated roads within the municipality. However, this objective can only be realized if the Assembly secures sufficient Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to support the necessary financial works. He reiterated that individuals had previously expressed skepticism regarding the necessity of tax payments, as they had not observed any tangible development or benefits. Nevertheless, he assured that he will utilize every tax contribution effectively to advance the municipality’s development.
Some members of the Kokorasua Methodist Church expressed worry regarding the increasing issues of drug and substance abuse among the youth. They urged the government to ensure the apprehension and stringent punishment of individuals found abusing drugs, in order to serve as a deterrent to others. They believe that without such measures, the future of the country will be compromised. Additionally, some members encouraged Ghanaians to fulfill their tax obligations to aid in the nation’s development.
