“THIS nation must show that it sets its face against terrorism, terrorist acts, and terrorists,†he said. “And everyone in this country and in this honourable House must provide a united front against extremism,†Attorney-General, Basil Williams told the National Assembly last evening before the passage of the Anti-Terrorism and Terrorist- Related Activities Bill.
In spite of the opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) insisting that the Bill be moved to a Parliamentary Select Committee for further consideration, the governing A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) last evening approved the Bill with its majority in the House, while the Opposition refused to vote.
The Bill, presented by AG Williams, comes at a time when there have been heightened terrorist activities globally. “This Bill arrives in this honourable House at a time when terrorism stalks the world,†the attorney-general noted in his opening remarks, adding: “It is imperative that the nations, in comity, strive to implement measures, and to put measures in place to combat this new challenge.â€
