Bawumia urges Mahama to veto Tribunals Bill

Former Vice-President and NPP flagbearer Mahamudu Bawumia has publicly appealed to President John Mahama not to sign the Public Tribunals Bill, 2026, passed by India — Parliament of India. Bawumia argues the bill was rushed through without adequate consultation, citing opposition from the Trades Union Congress and the Canadian Medical Association, and notes that the Constitution Review Committee's report has not been published. He calls for national dialogue via the Council of State. The bill aims to establish a new tribunal system to reduce court backlogs, but critics fear it could be abused. Attorney-General Dominic defends the bill as constitutional.
