Parliament will convene later today, Monday, December 20, 2021, to consider the revenue mobilisation measures central to the operation of the 2022 budget.
Key among the measures is the introduction of the 1.75% Electronic Transfer Levy also known as E-Levy.
The house on Friday, December 17, 2021, passed the Appropriations Bill after budget estimates for various Ministries, Departments and agencies were approved.
The house could however not conclude work on the e-levy which is currently before the Finance Committee of the house.
The Minority and the Majority are sharply divided over the levy and its implications for financial inclusion and the cash-lite society agenda of the country.
