Parliament will on Tuesday, February 1, once again consider the approval of the controversial E-levy Bill introduced by the Akufo-Addo-led government.

The continuous discussion over the 1.75% e-levy stems from the stern opposition the Majority Group has faced from the Minority in Parliament since government made known its intention to implement the levy last year.

On Friday, January 28, the Minority threw out a proposal indicating that the rate for the levy would be reduced from 1.75% to 1.5%.

According to government, the telecommunication companies have agreed to reduce their 1% charge on transactions by 0.25%, hence the new rate, which is part of its measures to cushion Ghanaians, who have condemned the passing of the levy.

However, the Minority did not budge, insisting that a reduction is not enough to win their support.

The Majority leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, urged that sitting be suspended for about 45minutes for further consultation.

His request was denied by the Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu and his side, stressing that enough time had been spent on the discussing the Bill. They, therefore, called for an adjournment.

The Majority leader subsequently seconded the calls for an adjournment.
