Dominic Ayine, Chairman of the Subsidiary Legislation Committee of Parliament, has publicly shouldered the blame for the controversial proposed amendment to the LI Road Traffic Regulations.
This amendment, which stirred widespread outcry among Ghanaians and within the minority caucus, included provisions allowing MPs to use sirens and be exempt from speed limits.
Speaking on Citi FM, Ayine clarified that the amendment was merely a suggestion and not a directive binding upon the Transport Minister.
He acknowledged the discontent generated by the proposal and assumed accountability for his committee’s actions, emphasizing that he maintained a neutral stance when the proposal was initially presented.
“I never held any position,” Ayine affirmed. “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.”
