The Minority in Parliament has described as laughable claims by the Majority Leader and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu that the controversial E-levy has been approved at the committee level and the motion for appropriation has begun.
At a capacity-building workshop organized for the Majority Caucus in Parliament and some Ministers of State on Saturday, 22 January 2022, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said “it is a difficulty for me when people are kicking against the E-levy when you know that in the adoption of the motion to approve the budget, we approved of that.
“So, it means that the first step has already been surmounted.”
“Then the E-levy has been factored into the various estimates that we have approved for all the sectors”, he explained.
But Mr. Richard Acheampong, the National Democratic Congress (NDC’s) Member of Parliament (MP) for Bia East Constituency in the newly created Western-North Region has rejected Mr. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu’s claim.
