“For justice sake, we fight on” – Ablakwa reacts after SC throws out application to injunct E-Levy implementation
The Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said despite the Supreme Court dismissing the injunction application to stop the implementation of the Electronic Transaction Levy (E-Levy) he will continue to fight with his colleague Minority MPs.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, heard the injunction application case filed by three Minority MPs in April.
After hearing both sides, the Supreme Court of seven panels presided over by Justice Nene Amegatcher dismissed the injunction application unanimously.
According to the apex court, great hardship will be caused to Ghanaians if the E-Levy is injuncted.
The Supreme Court taking the decision said “the balance of hardship tilt in favour of respondent” and the application is dismissed.
Reacting to the ruling, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa says all is not lost.
In a post on his Facebook page, he says he will continue to fight with his colleague NDC MPs for the sake of justice.
“Though our injunction application was denied, we take solace in the order of the Supreme Court to the GRA to ensure that they keep adequate records for a possible mass refund to all Ghanaians in the event that we succeed with our substantive case.
“For JUSTICE sake, we fight on,” the North Tongu Parliamentarian posted on his Facebook wall.
