There is a lot of buzz on social media about the reintroduction of road tolls.
#NPPMustGo and #CancelElevy continue to trend on X with strong public sentiments, a day after finance minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam announced the reintroduction of road tolls during the mid-year budget presentation in Parliament.
#BawumiaForPresident sits atop the trends indicating a strong interest in his presidential candidacy, while Koku Anyidoho holds the 17th spot in the trends.

#CancelElevy
Several Ghanaians are calling for the cancellation of the E-Levy.
It will be recalled that the road toll collection system was scrapped after the introduction of the E-Levy.
However, following intentions by the government to re-introduce road and bridge tolls, netizens are championing the total cancellation of the levy for not meeting its intended purpose as touted by some government officials.
Some netizens have also been bringing back old statements of key government appointees who justified the implementation of the E-Levy despite strong public opposition.
Ghc1 million was spent to demolish motorway toll booths. Now they want to bring it back.

#NPPMustGo
Following closely behind #CancelElevy, netizens are calling for the removal of the ruling New Patriotic Party government following economic challenges. They cite problems like the implementation of high taxes burdening citizens, recorded financial losses in various sectors, a high cost of living, and many others.

Koku Anyidoho
The political figure is in the trends following a reported commotion at the wreath-laying ceremony for the late Prof. Atta Mills at the Asomdwee Park on Wednesday, July 24, to mark 12 years since his passing.
Netizens are chastising him after he was accused by the siblings of the late former president of disrupting the event.
Koku Anyidoho's mind must be checked. Mental health issues are so much ignored in this country. Koku is one critical person that must be looked at. https://t.co/SwfwJwv9eq

Why can’t or won’t the NDC and the NPP investigate Atta Mills death so that every controversy will be settled ?! Why is Koku Anyidoho all over the place ?! pic.twitter.com/dzHA9gJrfT

Koku Anyidoho is provoking a lot of people and he'll soon get what he's asking for.

Prof Mills family has been too lenient on Koku Anyidoho . I just can't get my head around the whole thing. Why? How? Bayis3m b3n nono...?

Pls ignore all the fake news doing the rounds that I was at Asomdwe Park yesterday and clashed with anyone - complete falsehood. The Atta-Mills Institute did NOT organise any Event @ Asomdwe Park yesterday. I was busy launching my book. Ignore the hate news!!! pic.twitter.com/Of2MNGQoY4

You endorsed this Koku Anyidoho nonsense when you allowed him and those unknown whatever in a meeting at the jubilee house. @NAkufoAddo

That was not Presidential, Sir.
You’re responsible for everything going on.
You’ll not be happy if same is done to your relative, so why?
No Ewe is going to allow what Koku Anyidoho is doing to Atta Mills' family happen to them.
