'I have seen the manifesto and the promises are great for businesses. The promise to remove taxes will enable businesses to grow and also help the public because I think we are being overburdened with taxes. 'The NDC has always been for Ghanaian businesses and it's telling in their manifesto. Businesses will boom when the party comes, so I urge all Ghanaians to trust the NDC,' he said. Source: Ghana Web
