A complaint has been filed against the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Finance Ministry regarding the 1 District 1 Factory Initiative, which aims to give tax concessions to 42 enterprises.
Three members of the minority in parliament, led by Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, their deputy leader, filed the lawsuit.
The MPs contend that the tax waivers are not advantageous for the nation and are asking the Supreme Court to halt them.
The three MPs, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah (MP for Ellembelle), Kwame Agbodza (MP for Adaklu), and Bernard Ahiafor (MP for Akatsi South), claim that it is not in Ghana’s best interest for the GRA to issue these tax exemptions.
They contend that the tax waivers are unlawful because they are at odds with and go against Article 174 of the 1992 Constitution. They are asking the Supreme Court to rule that the waivers are invalid and have no legal significance.
Bernard Ahiafor, one of the plaintiffs, is pleading with the Supreme Court to get involved for the good of the nation.
“It seems that Article 174 of the Constitution is being broken, and the Supreme Court has been granted sole authority to interpret it. As a result, any person who feels wronged may.
If a citizen feels that a specific provision of the Constitution is being violated, they have the option to seek interpretation and declaration at the Supreme Court, the highest court, as it appears that Article 174 of the Constitution is being violated. The Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdiction to interpret the Constitution.
