The Minority in Parliament has insisted that there is no E-levy despite the approval by a one-sided House on Tuesday March 29.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, Haruna Iddrisu, the Minority Leader stated that the passage as seen in parliament was just a charade because in their view, the Majority did not have the right numbers to pass it.
“This is a charade,” he said at a press conference in Parliament, adding that “there is no E-levy.”
“The majority of less than 137 conducting businesses only proceeded on illegal and unconstitutional business. Parliament did not have the numbers to take any decision that should be binding on Parliament and Ghanaians.”
The Minority had staged a walkout during the second reading on the E-levy.
Contributing to the E-levy debate on the floor of the House on Tuesday March 29, he described the policy proposal as regressive and insensitive.
“E-levy is the nuisance of nuisance tax,” he said, adding that “businesses are suffering under your watch. We are united that we will not support E-levy, we will not vote for E-levy.
