The Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has called on MPs to unite force and approve the passage of the E-Levy on Monday when the House resumes sitting.

Speaking at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Delegates Conference in Kumasi on Sunday, the Suame MP said the electronic levy is a major revenue source to help develop the various constituencies.

“I want to believe that parliament, after the unanimous passage of the appropriation bill, shall rise to the occasion to pass the major revenue source to feed the work programme of the government in 2022.

"I am very much aware that every Member of Parliament in his constituency needs a health facility, every MP needs an educational facility, every MP needs an electrification facility.

"The E-levy will be a major booster for these endeavours, and that is why I believe that Members of Parliament would not vote against the E-levy in order not to deny their constituents of the benefit of basic infrastructure facilities,” he said.

Over 6000 delegates are attending the conference to consider 38 proposed amendments to the party’s constitution.

The levy was expected to have been laid before the Finance committee in Parliament on Friday.

But this did not materialise after the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Kwaku Kwarteng, announced that government has pulled the brakes on the e-levy.

The Minority in Parliament has, however, indicated that they will continue to use every legitimate and lawful channel to resist the E-levy.

“We in the Minority remain committed to exploring lawful and democratic means of getting the government to abandon this insensitive, obnoxious and regressive tax.

"Absolutely nothing can be more Ghanaian and progressive at this stage, than a demand that Government considers the economic challenges of the ordinary Ghanaian in rolling out taxes,” the Minority said in a statement.
