Dominic
Ayine,
Chairman
of
the
Subsidiary
Legislation
Committee
of
Parliament,
has
taken
responsibility
for
the
proposed
LI
Road
Traffic
amendment
that
would
have
allowed
Members
of
Parliament
to
use
sirens
and
be
exempt
from
speed
limits.
The
amendment,
which
was
met
with
massive
backlash
from
Ghanaians
and
the
minority
caucus,
was
part
of
the
L.
I
on
Road
Traffic
Regulations
Amendment
presented
to
the
committee.
In
an
interview
on
Eyewitness
News
with
Umaru
Sanda
Amadu
on
Citi
FM,
Ayine
clarified
that
the
amendment
was
just
a
proposal
and
not
a
compulsory
directive
to
the
Transport
Minister.
He
acknowledged
the
inconvenience
caused
by
the
proposal
and
accepted
responsibility
on
behalf
of
his
committee,
stating
that
he
held
no
position
on
the
matter
when
it
was
submitted.
“I
didn’t
say
that
personally,
my
position
is
that
MPs
must
be
given
sirens
and
be
exempted
from
the
speed
limit.
I
never
held
any
position.
“The
point
is
that
it
came
before
my
committee
and
I’m
the
chairman
of
the
committee
so
I
will
take
responsibility
on
behalf
of
my
members.
As
Chairman
of
the
committee,
I
take
responsibility
for
everything
that
the
committee
has
done.”
