Leadership of the minority in Parliament has disclosed what they will do next after a sided house passed into law the controversial electronic transactions levy.
Addressing the media after they staged a walkout, the leader of the minority group described what had happened in the chamber as an illegality and nullity.
"We simply walked out to disable the majority to have a voting quorum. They were simply less than 137. I am using 137 because conspicuously, everyone in the world knows that Honourable Adwoa Safo was not present. Additionally, we know there was an ambulance within the precincts of Parliament and the person purpoted to have been in the ambulance was not present in the chamber for the purpose of voting. Every decision they took with 136 flies as a sin against the ruling of the Supreme Court".
He added the minority will go to the Supreme Court soon to challenge the passage of the bill because those that partook in the approval were less than 137 and lacked the voting quorum.
The electronic transactions levy was presented to the house with an amendment from the earlier 1.75% to 1.50% and the 0.25% absorbed by the telecommunication companies.
