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 never held any position,” Dominic Ayine said adding, “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.”
