Despite this unexpected turn of events, Parliament went ahead with the vote and passed all three revenue bills by a narrow margin of 136-137 majority decision. The bills in question are the Income Tax Amendment Bill, Excise Duty Amendment Bill, and Growth and Sustainability Amendment Bill, which are expected to generate approximately GH¢4 billion per year to supplement domestic revenue.

The accident has caused concern among the MP's colleagues and constituents.
