Ghana’s Minister for Finance and Economic Planning, Ken Ofori-Atta says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) legislators are enough to approve the proposed E-levy in the 2022 budget.
According to the Finance Minister, the government is in a comfortable lead when it comes to the approval of the yet-to-be approved E-levy since they have the numbers in Parliament.
This, Ken Ofori-Atta disclosed to Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo’ when asked, “What if the minority remains adamant on the e-levy?”

The Minister simply said; “That’s why God gave us [Majority] one more vote than them. They all move to philosophically accept it, that’s a good way to move forward.”
He reaffirmed that the proposed E-levy remains at 1.75% and not 1.5% as claimed by honorable Afenyo Markin.
