Tribunal Bill must not become law — Minority

“The enactment of a bill to create district and regional tribunals creates a lot of apprehension in sections of our society, the Leader of the Minority, Alexander Afenyo-Markin said in is closing address in Parliament last Friday when the House adjourned sine die.” The Minority’s walkout during the passage of the bill, he said, was to place on record its rejection of a tribunal system it believes threatens judicial independence and the rule of law.

The Minority in Parliament has restated its opposition to the reintroduction of public tribunals and called on President John Dramani Mahama not to assent to the bill.
