Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, says the legal action taken by the government against the Member of Parliament for Ajumako Enyan Esiam, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, is an intimidating tactic being deployed by the state.
Asiedu Nketia alleges that the government intends to use the fear of prison to whip some NDC MPs to back the 2022 budget.
He, however, warns that their method will fail as the NDC MPs are not scared of the machinations by the state.
He says that if all the NDC MPs have to end up in Prison for the E-levy not to be passed, they will do so.
“They are begging us to come to the table and they are also intimidating our MPs. You are begging and treating us like this, do they think we will agree to their demands. They should arrest all of us and see if they can approve their budget. He is threatening us but I want them to know that no one is afraid of them,” Asiedu Nketia said on Okay FM.
