            <ul>
                <li class="listcss">
                <a href="<?php echo BASE_URL;?>/page.php?page=<?php echo e($page['slug']);?>"><?php echo e($page['label']);?></a>

Try display: inline-block instead of float: left. Here is an example to get started.

Note: float will wrap the div's to next row on overflow!

.wrapper {
  overflow: scroll;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
.wrapper > div {
  display: inline-block;
  min-width: 50px;
  min-height: 50px;
  background-color: cornflowerblue;
}

<div class="wrapper">
  <div>1</div>
  <div>2</div>
  <div>3</div>
  <div>4</div>
  <div>5</div>
  <div>6</div>
  <div>7</div>
  <div>8</div>
  <div>9</div>
  <div>10</div>
</div>
