E-Levy Passage: NDC's Former MP goes hard on Minority in Parliament

The former Member of Parliament for the Kubuntu constituency, Honorable. Ras Mubarak says the failure of NDC's parliamentarians led to the passage of the E-Levy.

"On a day where it mattered the most, leadership failed and that is what they will be remembered by when the history of this shambolic spectacle is written". He said in a statement.

According to him, the Governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is horrible, hence they needed serious opposition.

Politics is hardball and clearly, NPP plays it better. The Minority claims that one of its members was on his way from court, so they didn’t have the numbers. 

The question is, What happened to filibuster (the parliamentary process of delaying or obstructing a process). If the NPP was so determined to the point of wheeling a seriously ill MP in an ambulance to vote, the NDC had no excuse for not exhausting legitimate parliamentary procedure to get its member into the chamber to vote. 

On a day where it mattered the most, leadership failed and that is what they will be remembered by when the history of this shambolic spectacle is written. 

Everyone knows the NPP is horrible, but that’s why you need a serious opposition to hold their balls by the fire and not make them get away with the kind of horrendous things they are getting away with within parliament.
