Anti-gang legislation goes to parliament today

Today, the House of Representatives will discuss the Anti-Gang Bill and other related legislative measures in an effort to address gang activity in the country.

The Anti-Gang Bill aims to prevent the formation of gangs, stop the recruitment of gang members, and impose harsher penalties for gang-related activities.

Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin emphasized that the government is taking a proactive approach to tackle gang issues, citing input from various organizations and community members.

The government’s efforts, including direct engagement with gang members by the Prime Minister, have already shown promising results in reducing criminal activities involving youth.

There has been widespread support for these initiatives, with residents rallying behind the government’s efforts to address gang-related issues.
