The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government is set to revoke the controversial Legislative Instrument (LI) 2462, which has been the subject of widespread public and political debate.
Speaking at a stakeholder engagement on illegal mining convened by President John Dramani Mahama in Accra on Friday, October 3, Dr. Ayine disclosed that a new instrument — LI 2505 — has been prepared by his office and is scheduled to be laid before Parliament on October 14, when the House resumes sitting.
“We have prepared an instrument that is LI 2505 in my office, and that will be laid in Parliament on the 14th of October,” he stated.
The Attorney General confirmed that this decision was taken in agreement with the sector Minister, and the move aims to formally revoke LI 2462.
“The Minister and I have agreed that on the 14th of October, when Parliament resumes, we will lay that instrument to revoke the famous LI 2462,” he added.
