The Member of Parliament for Builsa South Dr. Clement Apaak has taken on the Majority in Parlaiment for delaying the processes to debate on the E-Levy.
The legislator says contrary to allegations that the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagin was the one delaying the processes, the Majority are the ones delaying the House.
According to him, the Majority fled the House when the Minority called for a debate on the matter.
He said the Majority group realized they would have lost the debate and vote on the matter hence had to flee the House.
He reiterated that the Minority will not allow the e-levy to be passed no matter the machinations from the Majority and the government.
The MP said the Minority will not retreat not surrender in opposing the levy which he described as extortion.

Folks, unfortunately for the NPP, last night in Parliament, the use of an IMPOSTER was not an option. And since a vote on the Killer E-Levy would have gone against them and their E-Levy, they had to literally flee when we called for the debate to commence and to vote after.
It’s now clear to all that the delay in taking a vote on the unjustified and extortion scheme they have named E-Levy, is NOT caused by the Rt. Hon. Speaker. It is also evident that we the NDC in Parliament are not standing in their way. So, let the hypocritical elements in our society take note.
For us, 137 NO against KILLER E-Levy stands any day and any time. We owe it to the good people of Ghana, our constituents and ourselves to do what we have promised; 137 NO votes against the obnoxious, regressive and extortion scheme called E-levy. NO retreat NO surrender!
