“WITHDRAW BILL 7 FORTHWITH,” FORMER NATIONAL GUIDANCE MINISTER GUIDES.
..It has been rejected…
Thur. June 5, 2025/Smart Eagles
Former Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs, Hon. Rev. Mrs Godfridah Sumaili has guided government to immediately withdraw Bill 7 stating that it does not represent the aspirations of the people who have rejected it with great resolve .
In a strong worded post on her Facebook page, the former Minister who is a Member of the PF Central Committee advised the government to pay a listening ear to what the people have said .
” Withdraw immediately bill 7 if you have ears that hear. The people , church , LAZ , civil society have said no!,” Rev. Sumaili said .
I think it would be good for those opposing Bill 7 to simplistically spell out item by item what is wrong so that the common man can understand. Otherwise, as it is, this seems to be an issue of opposing for the sake of it. This is the same as a person saying “I don’t want”, asked what they don’t want, they keep saying “I just don’t want”. Such mindset must not prevail in this era.
I agree. Let them immediately start lobbying their members of Parliament for further consultations. I have personally reviewed Bill 7 and found nothing alarming, except that it is all progress.
Uuuumm this rev. I wonder what she likes in her life just withdrawing without citing the clauses that deem you feet of your aspirations.
State clearly why? point by point.
For example, if the 14 days presidential election petition days in it’s current status where we don’t know if the 14 days includes holidays and weekend’s or not. The case in point is the 2016 presidential election petition which up to now the case still stands because of the 14 days issue. Confusion there if it is okay or not you explain.
2. The delimitation of constituencies especially the bigger ones so that with the increased CDF the share can also make significance difference. If it is bad you state.
3.Proportional representation if it is bad you state and oppose it just examples to solidify and justify your withdrawal motion
No why withdraw? Just let it be debated and get feedback.You mean all is bad in the amendment proposal? We haven’t even heard your submissions in full to warrant your withdrawal demands.
