Politics 'We staged walkout because gov't wanted to rob us; and we know they didn't also have 138 members' — Navrongo Central MP
MAR 31, 2022 LISTEN

The NDC Member of Parliament for Navrongo Central Sampson Tangombu Chiragia has described the controversial E-levy passage as an "illegality."

Speaking to this reporter, the Navrongo legislator said the NPP MPs were not up to 138 to form a quorum to pass the E-levy.

“We are against the e-levy today we are against the e-levy tomorrow. What happened in parliament is an illegality. They are not up to the required 138 to guarantee them passing the e-levy.

He said the Minority staged a walkout when they noticed government had an agenda to bulldoze the levy through.

"We staged a walkout because we know what this government wanted to do was a robbery. Is a robbery against the ordinary people of this country".

Meanwhile, the Minority has filed a suit at the Supreme Court to prevent government from implementing the bill.
