Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>South Dayi Member of Parliament Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has said that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo\u2019s refusal to sign the three bills submitted to his office was an afterhrought.<\/b><\/p>\n

The bills are; Criminal Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2023, Criminal Offences (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, 2023, and Armed Forces (Amendment) Bill, 2023.<\/p>\n

Mr Dafeamekpor revealed that President Akufo-Addo initially signed the Anti-Witchcraft Bill on August 2, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the bills was assented to on the 2nd day of August 2023, the same day the bill was submitted to the President…it appears, humbly, to me that the decision by the President not to sign the bills was purely an afterthought.\u201d<\/p>\n

To him, the President had no reason for turning around to say he would not assent to the bills, because the views of the Attorney-General were factored into them.<\/p>\n

He says that the A-G\u2019s representatives were present at the consideration stage of the bills and their views were duly considered.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the committee level, the Attorney-General made inputs and their considerations were added,\u201d he said on Saturday, December 23.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that President Akufo-Addo gave reasons why he was unable to assent to the Criminal Offences Amendment and the Ghana Armed Forces bills passed by Parliament passed on Tuesday, July 25.<\/p>\n

In a letter to Parliament, he cited financial implications on the consolidated fund as one of the reasons for not signing the bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon a thorough review of the relevant constitutional legislative frameworks specifically Article 108 of the Constitution and Section 100 of the Public Financial Management Act 2016, Act 921, it is evident that the bill is introduced as private member\u2019s bills by the honourable member of Parliament for Madina Constituency, Francis-Xavier Sosu do not conform with the provisions of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese bills which avoid the death penalty and criminalise the activities of witch doctors retain substantial financial obligations on the Consolidated Fund and other public funds of Ghana due to the projected cost related to imprisonment, sustenance and healthcare for those who will be convicted under the days when they become law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, in light of this significant fiscal impact, these bills should not have been introduced with the fiscal impact analysis. Access to such an analysis precludes these bills from being properly classified as private member\u2019s bills. The legislative power entrusted to parliament comes with responsibilities to ensure that all enacted laws comply with the constitutional provisions safeguarding the nation\u2019s fiscal integrity and avoiding the principles of governance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Speaker, it is for the above reasons that I, in preserving the sanctity of the legislative process refuse to assent with yours. I take this opportunity to reiterate my support for the contents of the bills and my intention for them to be reintroduced in Parliament on my behalf in due course. Yours sincerely, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The President raised constitutional matters regarding the Bill when he first informed Parliament of his inability to assent to the Criminal Offences Amendment Bill 2022.<\/p>\n

In the letter he wrote to Parliament and read by the Speaker on Monday, December 4, President Akufo-Addo said \u201cI am writing to you in reference to our meeting held on the 28th of November, 2023 at my office where we discussed the outstanding bills presented for assent namely; the Criminal Offenses Amendment Bill 2023, Criminal Offences Amendment number 2 Bill 2023, and the Armed Forces Amendment Bill 2023.<\/p>\n

During our conversation, I raised specific constitutional concerns regarding these bills related to Article 108 of the Constitution, particularly the nature of these bills which were introduced into Parliament as private members\u2019 bills rather than being presented by me or on my behalf….\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I indicated the content of these bills have my support, but we need to ensure that they are enacted in line with established constitutional and legislative process. After thorough consideration and in light of the constitutional issue I pointed out during our meeting, I am unable to assent to these bills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concerns raised are significant and have profound implications for the constitutional integrity of these legislative actions. Any legislation we pass must be in complete alignment with the provisions of our Constitution. I intend to have these bills reintroduced in Parliament on my behalf in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n
