Rejected petition: Mandatory Drug Testing for all government ministers

Rejected on

Government ministers hold positions of immense responsibility and power. Decisions made in our government have far-reaching effects on the lives of millions of people. Testing for drug use among ministers can help ensure that they are making decisions in a clear, sober frame of mind.

Agree to allow the police to carry out Random drug tests on all government ministers.
