LIVESTREAMED: Parliament meets on 2022 budget statement and economic policy

The House was on Thursday December 2, 2021 rendered empty after a showdown, amid heated debate and confusion over the approval of the 2022 budget statement.

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta when delivering the 2022 budget statement before Parliament in November this year announced a number of policy measures and tax measures.

They include the imposition of a 1.75 percent levy on e-transactions covering mobile money, bank transfers and other payments. This has however been widely criticised by a section of the public with lawmakers calling for a review of the tax imposed in the 2022 budget.
