Outlining the legislative agenda for his ministry, Attorney General Anil Nandlall on Friday said that reform of the election laws and constitution are high on the agenda.
Nandlall told the House that the ministry will spearhead wide-ranging reforms, including legislative reforms to the electoral process to make it “stronger, more transparent, more accountable and to ensure that it is manned by persons of high integrity and professional ethics, so as to prevent the electoral machinery from being hijacked by political fraudsters, who cannot win government through the will of the people.”
Speaking during the debate of the 2020 national budget at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre, he said that this was a promise made by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) in its manifesto.
