The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has reacted to the lawsuit filed by the Minority in Parliament over the passage of the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy).
Three members of the Minority led by its leader, Haruna Iddrisu are asking the court to declare the proceedings and the voting in Parliament that led to the passage of the E-Levy unconstitutional, null, void and of no effect.
However, the Finance Minister says, “well, we operate a democracy, anyone at all can run to court when they have an issue, and then it is finally resolved. Similarly, the Minority has the power to head to Court if they have an issue. There is nothing dramatic about it."
According to him, “we believe there was a quorum in Parliament. Your walking out does not mean there was no quorum. You could have gone for lunch and come back, who knows? We are pleased with the outcome of the proceedings. I think the nation is settled, there is generally calm. People have come to accept it and are moving on with their lives."

Has anybody asked this Asiedu Nketia how he became a politician? I knew this guy. He was a palm wine tapper, a pupil teacher, and now he thinks he is somebody by NDC standards. Shame on you NDC.
+NDC is a bad nut you can not understand them in any way, their logic is that when they come to power in 2025 they will do it if not they may be in opposition for long, somebody should please ask john mahama and his ndc for me who told them they come to power anytime soon Ghanaians have rejected for over their leader is a curse to the nation
The General secretary of the NDC, Asiedu Nketiah once said ' any i d i o t can go to court' . Indeed when he appeared before the Supreme Court judges on the 2020 election petition he proved that he was indeed an i d I o t . When he was asked how many votes his party got, he said he didn't bring the figures to court, it's like going to write an exam, when asked by the invigilator where your pen is, you retort by saying you didn't bring your pen. So it's not surprising his party MP's are going to court after all any ........ can go to court. Fill in the gap
