This draft bill was written primarily to prevent rouge officials from torturing suspects or abducting people with critical views. Needless to say, the country has been waiting too long for this draft bill which the cabinet placed in parliament's law deliberation pipeline on Aug 27. They saw the draft bill tabled in the parliament for a final reading in 2019. MPs will convene for a meeting tomorrow to read all the proposed legislation with this draft bill listed as third in line to be dealt with. The draft bill will make criminalise torture without solely relying on physical evidence.
