Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The National Assembly of the Gambia passed the Commission of Inquiry Amendment Bill 2023 on Thursday, September 2, 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n

The bill, which was introduced by Attorney General and Minister for Justice Hon. Dawda A. Jallow under a certificate of urgency, amends the Commission of Inquiry Act to allow the President to review the Commission\u2019s findings and for connected matters.<\/p>\n

The bill also seeks to define the meanings of \u201cMinister\u201d and \u201cWhitepaper\u201d under the Act, give the President the power to issue amnesty to persons banned from holding public office and provide a criterion for persons entitled to apply for amnesty.<\/p>\n

The Commission of Inquiry Amendment Bill 2023 is the fourth bill the Government of the Gambia has brought to Parliament in the 2023 First Extraordinary Session.<\/p>\n
