Executive Secretary of the Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability (ASEPA), Mensah Thompson, says he has received intelligence that the government will invade Parliament to force the passage of the e-levy.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Thompson reveals the intelligence is from a source in the Jubilee House who has said that the government has resolved to pass the e-levy by hook or crook.
“My sources at the Jubilee house contacted me again yesterday and the information is simple, they have resolved to pass the e-levy at all cost when Parliament resumes,” Thompson said.
In fact, they intend to send the military to Parliament again when the e-levy debate degenerates into a scuffle and their plan is to assault the NDC MPs if they attempt to resist like the other time.”
“The Minority must be on their guard, the plan for the e-levy is big, they intend to pass it all cost or they have to go to the IMF and that is exactly what they don’t want,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Mensah Thompson questions why the Akufo-Addo government is afraid of going to the IMF and then answers that it is because they are afraid of an inevitable audit that the IMF would demand before a bailout.
“But the question is why are they sooo afraid of going to the IMF?, some people have said oh, they don’t like the propaganda or they don’t want to feel ashamed for taking us back to the IMF…The answer is simple…Audit, they are afraid of the IMF’s audit and the things that would be uncovered if the IMF audit their books…period!!
The ASEPA boss also reveals that the government has bought the luxurious jet that President Akufo-Addo has been renting at USD14, 000 per hour. “For example, the luxury jet which we all think the President is renting at £14,000 an hour has been bought! Yes, they bought the luxury jet, I will bring you details of that later. Why do you think no Minister wants to tell us how much the President spends on his trip?”
“Nobody wants to perjure themselves, because when the next government comes to power it will realise that the jet has been bought far back as early 2020 and the Ministers who lied to Parliament would be in big trouble…that’s why no one wants to speak,” Thompson stated.
