PPF Statement on the signing of the FIC Bill
29 April 2017
PPF notes the statement from the Presidency regarding His Excellency's signing of the FIC Bill into Law.
PPF further notes that Parliament made certain amendments to bring the Bill in line with the Constitution following the objection by the President. These amendments effectively mean that the bill was not signed in its original form.
Consequently, PPF will be studying the signed Bill to verify and ascertain if the issues raised by PPF have been addressed.
It is important to note that PPF believes in the fundamental pillars of our democracy which inter alia is to find solutions through engagements with a view to influencing one another and finding mutual solutions.
