The Member of Parliament for Asante Akyem North, Andy Appiah-Kubi has justified the Legislative Instrument seeking to give lawmakers the legal rights to use sirens and drive without speed limits.
Parliament is seeking to amend the Road Traffic Regulations, 2012, LI 2180 to give Members of Parliament (MPs) and judges the right to use sirens without speed limits.
The new LI which was laid in Parliament about 3 weeks ago has drawn public condemnation.
But addressing the media in Parliament Andy Appiah-Kubi, a member of the subsidiary legislation committee explained the move is to deal with the exigencies of the work of MPs.
He assured the rights will not be abused adding the vitriol against MPs is unfair.
