Kennedy Agyepong – The Idea Of A Tow Levy Was Borne Out Of 'Useless Thinking'

Hon. Kennedy Agyepong, the member of Parliament for Assin Central, has come out strongly against the tow levy which was recently scrapped.
According to the firebrand MP, the levy makes no sense and is the fruit of ‘useless thinking’.
The supposed levy caused a storm when it became apparent that it would soon be implemented, and government scrapped its plans after immense public displeasure. The levy was aimed at charging owners whose vehicle breaks down a fee for towing.
“Seriously, I hate this towing levy that government wants to impose on innocent citizens. I am totally against it. How can you tell me to go buy my vehicle and when it breaks down, instead of calling for it to be checked by the insurance company, you expect me to go get it towed with a levy. What kind of useless thinking is this?” he said.
Agyepong said the levy was an outmoded idea and that government should look at solving the underlying causes of road accidents rather than jumping to collecting more monies from the citizenry.
