Government withdraws controversial legislation
Jul 11, 2013
ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – The Grenada government Wednesday withdrew controversial legislation that provides for criminal charges to be brought against anyone sending offensive messages over the internet.
The Senate was due to have debated the Electronic Crimes Bill on Wednesday, but the Leader of Government Business, Kenny Lalsingh, said the Keith Mitchell administration had made a decision to return the Bill to the Lower House pending further deliberation.
"Government’s intention is to take as much feedback from various stakeholders in going forward with this Bill," Lalsingh told the Senate, adding “so I move that this Bill return to the Lower House for further deliberations”.
