The
Minister
of
Local
Government
Martin
Kwaku
Adjei-Mensah
Korsah
has,
on
behalf
of
the
Transport
Minister
withdrawn
the
controversial
Legislative
Instrument
(LI)
on
Road
Traffic
Amendments
to
Regulation
74.
There
was
a
huge
public
outrage
over
the
proposed
law
that
sought
to
amend
portions
of
the
Road
Traffic
Regulations,
2012.
But
speaking
on
the
floor
of
parliament
on
Tuesday,
July
16,
Adjei-Mensah
Korsah
said
“Mr
Speaker,
I
rise
to
move
that
the
Road
Traffic
Amendment
Regulation
2024
which
was
laid
on
Friday
14t
June
2024
be
withdrawn.
“This
has
become
necessary
based
on
the
extensive
engagement
with
leadership.
It
is
so
withdrawn.”
The
Minority
had
earlier
demanded
the
withdrawal
of
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
Road
Traffic
Regulations.
There
is
no
L.I.
on
Siren
before
parliament
–
Speaker
Bagbin
“We
have
instructed
all
our
Members
on
the
Committee
to
strongly
oppose
it
at
the
committee
level.
“We
have
also
directed
all
137
NDC
Members
of
Parliament
to
vote
en
bloc
against
the
Legislative
Instrument
when
it
is
brought
to
the
floor,”
a
statement
by
the
Minority
said
on
Tuesday,
July
16.
I
don’t
see
why
we
should
impugn
‘Siren’
L.I.
with
hatred
and
jealousy
