Public Tribunals Bill addresses CSOs’ concerns, says Mahama Ayariga

Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has assured civil society organisations (CSOs) that the newly passed Public Tribunals Bill will not be abused, insisting that Parliament addressed the key concerns raised by stakeholders before approving the legislation.

The bill was passed by Parliament on Thursday night despite opposition from civil society groups, organised labour and the Minority, who had expressed reservations about some of its provisions and called for broader consultations.

He encouraged civil society organisations to study the final version of the legislation and continue engaging Parliament where necessary.
