‘Stop misleading Ghanaians on GHS1 Levy’ – Majority to Minority
The Majority in Parliament has accused the Minority side of populism following their criticism of the controversial GHS1 energy sector levy.
According to the Minority, the government clandestinely introduced the levy into Parliament and failed to ensure wider stakeholder consultations before its passage.
However, Chairman of the Energy Committee, Emmanuel Kwesi Bedzrah, has countered the claim, stating that members of the Minority were fully involved in the processes leading to the levy’s approval.
“All the members on the Minority side in the Finance Committee and all the leaders of the Energy Committee were present in the committee meeting when we discussed this amendment bill. We all went through the bill, and no one went out. They were all there.
“Honourable George Kwame Aboagye, Collins Adomako Mensah, also together with all the Minority MPs. They were all there. At the end, the majority decision was taken, and then you organised a conference to say you were not consulted. This is deliberate misinformation from the Minority, “he said.
