“The truth of the matter is that the NPP MPs themselves, they don’t think that the E-Levy is a good thing, that is why their leadership is not able to get all the 138 members to vote,” he said.

He also urged the Majority in parliament to find more sustainable ways of getting their businesses done than to lay blames, for instance, on the Speaker of Parliament.

The Speaker, Alban Bagbin, is in Dubai for a medical review and there have been concerns on whether or not the House can debate the E-Levy in his absence.
