Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, the deputy attorney general (AG), has stated that the administration is dedicated to passing the Code of Conduct Bill.
I don’t believe we will waste this time developing a bill and holding public consultations if the administration is not committed. Hence, I am certain that the law will pass, he continued.
On Wednesday, Mr. Tuah-Yeboah was interviewed by Bernard Avle for the Point of View on Citi TV.
He emphasised that a lot of work had gone into the final text, which was currently awaiting cabinet clearance before being presented to Parliament.
“We have done extensive work on the bill. We have held public engagements; we have held a lot of discussions and the final draft is before cabinet. So, if cabinet approves the final draft, then we have to go back to Parliament for it to go through the process,” he noted.
Mr Tuah-Yeboah said that the bill dealt with lots of issues for which reason public officers were to be cautious of their doings as they were not just going to get away with everything.
“But I can tell you that if you look at the bill, it deals with a whole lot of things that if you think that you can just do things anyhow you should be revising your notes,” he said.
As such, Mr Tuah-Yeboah opined that the bill would be one of the good laws the country would ever pass.
