Minority Accuses Akufo-Addo of Plotting a Defective Vigilantism Law


 Minority Accuses Akufo-Addo of Plotting a Defective Vigilantism Law

Minority in Parliament is warning against attempts to pass the Vigilantism and Other Offences Act, 2019 without first publishing report of the Emile Short Commission.

According to the Minority, the Short Commission Report should have direct influence on debate in Parliament else the final product of the Vigilante Bill would be half-baked.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Minority insists, should adhere to tenets of good governance and publish the report immediately given the public interest of issues investigated by the said commission and warned against attempt to stampede Parliament into passing the Bill without recourse to the Commission report that investigated the same matter.

Former Deputy Attorney-General, James Agalga who addressed the media in Parliament Wednesday, indicated there is no denial the Vigilantism Bill is an attempt to end politically-related violence through disbandment of political vigilante groups.
