Minority leader Haruna Iddrisu has revealed that Ghanaians want good laws that will stand the test of time and not rushed laws.
He made this remarks on the floor of Parliament where it became clear that the Committee on Constitutional Legal and Parliamentary Affairs had to travel to learn from best practices as they work on the Special Prosecutor Bill 2017.
According to the Tamale South legislator, Parliament as an institution should properly resource its committees and give it the needed attention more especially, when the Constitutional Committee needs to travel to Canada, Singapore and South Africa to under study how their Special Prosecutor system works.
“Let us not leave this to Civil Society groups, only to hear later that MPs’ took envelopes and have been compromised”.
Again let us hold the Ministry of Finance responsible for this and as a House take responsibility over the workings of our various committees, he lamented.
Office of the Special Prosecutor Bill 2017 is expected to be passed before the House goes on Christmas break and captured in next year’s budget which is expected to be presented to the House next month.
