The Minority will not give up its fight to stop the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy) Bill from becoming law. President Akufo-consent Addo's to the agreed tax is currently awaiting Parliament's approval.
After the Minority in Parliament walked out, the Majority in Parliament authorized the E-Levy, claiming that the tax is a tool to intensify the hardship of poor Ghanaians.
After the Consideration Stage was completed under a certificate of urgency, today's decision was made. However, the Minority has indicated that it will appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court.
"A judicial determination on Article 104 of the Constitution has been made even as we prepare to contest the case at the Supreme Court." There's no doubt about that. Article 104 considers anything to the contrary to be a sin. There's no doubt about that. "Anything opposed to Article 104 of the 1992 Constitution and the Supreme Court's verdict is a sin," he stated on Tuesday.
Haruna Iddrisu, the Minority Leader, claims that the parliamentary procedure was broken in the run-up to the vote.
Mr. Iddrisu indicated that there was no quorum in the House that supervised the Bill's approval in a press conference following its approval.
The NDC MPs have declared the vote null and void as a result. As a result, "those of you who are celebrating with them that E-Levy has been passed and passed properly, your joy will be fleeting."
He claimed that the latest development vindicates their position that the quorum ruling was irrational. It signifies that any decision required at least 138 points. Whether on the amendment, third reading, or at the Constitution's extensively provided for consideration stage. As a result, we did not want to be associated with it."
According to the MP, the NDC has stated its opposition to the levy and intends to carry it out.
"At the principle level, we expressed our disapproval and rejection of the E-Levy with the Ghanaian people." We are standing on the same level."
