Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Majority Leader of Ghana's Parliament Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has denied reports that a green E-levy Cake which was seen at his 65th birthday bash was presented to him by the Minority Caucus.

He says it is neither the NDC or the leadership of the minority in parliament that presented the E-levy cake to him.

According to him, the cake was also neither made by him nor his wife or any member of his family but was presented to him by a private contractor.

Speaking on Okay Fm's Ade Akye Abia programme, the Suame MP explained how he come to own the E-levy cake.

".... i was unaware of such a cake since i only know of two cakes which one were presented to him by my wife in parliament.

"I planned to do something small in Kumasi to mark my 65th bday for this year because my 60th birthday was celebrated lavishly in Accra but i never thought it was going to be something big. But i can confidently tell you that the E-levy cake you saw was not presented to me by the NDC or the minority in parliament or anybody from family or party.

A private contractor who admires my character presented the cake. May be if i knew earlier, i would not have allowed it," he added.

In videos and pictures widely circulated on the internet from the birthday party of Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu, a green coloured cake designed to spell the word ‘E-LEVY’ stole the spotlight at the just ended celebration.

With big names such the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, his wife, Samira Bawumia, the NPP Chairman for the Ashanti region, Chairman Wontumi, among other party bigwigs in attendance, it sure seemed like a flamboyant climax of the celebration of the man who is also the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs.

Meanwhile, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George has dared the Majority Leader to name the NDC legislator who allegedly gifted him the E-Levy crafted cake.

This was after initial reports sought to suggest that the said cake was from the Minority.
