A request by the Fiance Minister Ken Ofori Atta to further engage the Minority before the approval of the 2022 budget statement has been rejected by a voice vote.
The Minister who joined parliamentarians on Friday, November 26, 2021, prayed the Speaker to allow him to engage the Minority before they approve the budget.
The Minister in his submission described the proposed E-Levy which has been become a bone of contention as the ‘elephant in the room’.
He also asserted that the budget was a burden-sharing budget hence the Minority should support and have it approved.
He made the appeal when he was granted the opportunity to submit the approval was made.
After his appeal, the Speaker put the question to a voice vote where the NO votes won meaning the request was rejected.
However, Deputy Majority Leader Afenyo Markin said the voice vote was not fair hence demanded a headcount.
