DON’T ABOLISH PUBLIC ORDER ACT, OBSERVES Dr NG’OMA
Political scientist Alex Ng’oma has said that the Public Order Act should not be abolished.
In an interview with Daily Revelation, Dr N’goma said that the Public Order Act needs to be reformed, but should not be abolished or scrapped off in order to maintain public order in society.

It has to be reformed,” Dr N’goma said. “And people must step forward and provide inputs and say this is what we want.”
