According to the Member of Parliament (MP), Parliament as an institution now lacks the power to start processes that will help stop the implementation of the E-Levy, myjoyonlince.com reports. Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has said that the suit filed by the minority to get the Supreme Court to null the passage of the E-Levy was an exercise in futility because the court cannot interfere with procedures in the house. The remedy must occur at the Supreme Court so he [Majority Leader] should appreciate that,” Dafeamekpor said in an interview on JoyNews. Also, he urged the majority leader to refrain from making pronouncements on the case since the Supreme Court is yet to hear the case and give its ruling. He added that recent comments made on the case by Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu amounted to a contempt of the court.
