New Tax; Asuogyaman District Now Levies For Taking Photographs At Adomi Bridge (Atimpoku)

There is a new twist and initiative in revenue mobilization at Asuogyaman District in the eastern region where the assembly now charges anyone who wants to take picture either of himself/herself or the bridge before given the go ahead to snap the photographs either on phone or on camera.

This was brought to bear when a video that went viral on facebook and other social media revealed a task force tasked to monitor and ensure anyone who takes picture at or close to the Adomi bridge pays the levy.

In the video available to Radio1News, a woman by name Sheila is heard arguing with the taskforce and workers of the Asuogyaman district because of her refusal to pay the money.

Sheila and her family were aggrieved and no matter their arguments, they were not allowed to take the photographs.

Adomi bridge is one of the most visiting tourists sites in Ghana since time immemorial and the family could not fathom why tax was imposed on taking photographs there.
