Asked whether he considered his life less important than the passage of the tax bills, Mr Tuferu answered “yes, you [can] say that.”
He also admitted that he was cleaned up and stitched up in Parliament’s washroom before he was allowed to vote for the passage of the three tax bills.
The Member of Parliament for Nanton, Mohammed Hardi Tuferi, admitted he was speeding at the time of the accident that happened on Friday, March 31 on his way to Parliament.
The MP narrated that he had left Parliament on the evening of the crash to visit his wife and sick daughter at the International Maritime Hospital but was shortly informed Parliament was about to conduct a vote to determine the fate of the government’s new revenue tax bills and was rushing back to partake in the exercise when the accident occurred close to the Ghana Institute of Journalism.
Parliament last Friday approved four financial bills presented by the government aimed at generating approximately 4 billion Ghana Cedis annually to boost domestic revenue mobilization.
