General News of Friday, 12 April 2019Source: Myjoyonline.comPlan to pass anti-vigilantism bill under certificate of urgency castigatedNDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu NketiaA disappointed NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, says government is stifling public input in trying to pass a bill to tackle political vigilantism under a certificate of urgency. The bill landed on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, 24 hours before Parliament rises for the Easter break. The bill makes good President Akufo-Addo’s vow to cause the enactment of a law criminalising the menace of party militias. While Parliament faces a race against time to pass the bill urgently as recommended by the Executive, Asiedu Nketia has criticised the method employed. The Minority spokesperson on Constitutional and Legal Affairs, Inusah Fuseini, has backed the plan to pass the bill urgently.
