Opinions were divided last night over the election campaign spending cap proposed in the government’s amendment bill to the Legislative Assembly Election Law. While some called for a lower cap, others said they felt a lower cap would be disadvantageous for newcomers.
A consultation session for civic groups and government-appointed consultative committees was held at the Tourism Activities Centre (CAT) in Zape yesterday.
The government is carrying out a month-long public consultation on the amendment bill until June 5. According to a consultation document released last week, the government proposes a number of changes to the law such as banning lawmakers and election candidates from holding any foreign political position.
