Parties’ law would curb graft by leaders, CCM official says
What you need to know:
An adage that one man’s meat is another man’s poison may be well pronounced in the ongoing debate over the Political Parties Bill when the ruling party secretary-general said yesterday that the draft law is perfect despite being widely condemned by the opposition.
Dr Bashiru Ali said yesterday that the draft law is quite good and that it deserves to be approved without making any alterations to it.
This comes at a time when the opposition has widely condemned the bill, which when passed will repeal the Political Parties Act (1992), saying it (the Bill) contravenes with the Constitution and that it interferes with the freedoms of expression, privacy and the right for parties to manage their affairs.
