Mahama promised to revoke L.I. 2462, not amend it - Awula Serwah

In a recent statement, Awula Serwah, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasized that President John Mahama's commitment regarding Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2462 was to revoke it entirely rather than amend it. This clarification comes amidst discussions about the controversial instrument, which has faced criticism for its implications on local governance and land administration.

Awula Serwah highlighted that Mahama's promise during his campaign was clear: he intended to eliminate L.I. 2462 to address concerns raised by various stakeholders, including traditional leaders and community members. The instrument has been perceived as undermining local authority and disrupting customary land practices, prompting calls for its repeal.

The NDC believes that revoking L.I. 2462 is essential for restoring trust in governance and ensuring that local communities have a say in land management issues. As the political landscape evolves, this stance reflects the party's commitment to addressing public grievances and fostering better relationships with traditional institutions.
