This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition The Taking of a Life Act/The Murder Act. This was all I could upload.
This proposed Act serves as a response to the escalations of murders in the capital.
I Had to take all the substance out of this proposal to upload this, that NEED to change. We should not be limited on such an important issue.
