The Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Martin Adjei Mensah Korsah, has officially withdrawn the controversial Legislative Instrument (L.I.) on behalf of the Minister for Transport.
This L.I. sought to grant Members of Parliament (MPs) the privilege to use sirens and exempt them from speed limits while performing their official duties.
The proposed amendment to the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012 (LI 2180) sparked significant public backlash and opposition from various quarters, including the Minority Caucus in Parliament.
Critics argued that the amendment was unnecessary and inappropriate, given the pressing issues facing the nation.
