Member of Parliament for Ketu South Dzifa Gomashie has said she is against tax on sanitary pads.
To her, a tax on sanitary pads does not make sense.
“It does not make sense to tax sanitary pads. It is not our choice that we bleed, it is part of our making as women,” she told TV3 ahead of the 2024 budget presentation by the Finance Minister.

For his part, the Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Richard Ahiagbah said that he expects that the 2024 budget will do more to sustain the evolving stabilization of the economy and restore growth through increased investment in agriculture, industry, and tourism.
Perhaps an important specific tax relief that will benefit many people will be announced by the Minister, he said.
“I also expect a budget that would try to increase revenue not necessarily through new taxes, but rather by widening the tax net, increasing compliance, and tax administration efficiency.
“Overall, I expect a budget that inspires hope, and discipline and promotes inclusive growth and resilience,” he tweeted.
