On Thursday 22 September, the general assembly of the chamber of deputies, adopted the bill of the establishment of the centre of registering national Identity known as NIDA and the law governing contracts.
Due to the president’s appeal, the general assembly amended the law governing the contract and obliterated article 62 and be substituted.
The major intention of removing article 62 was due to the contradiction that typified this article in the second paragraph of 201 of the national constitution of Rwanda which states “ignorance of the law which has been duly published shall not be a defense”.
Apart from article 62 which was detached, the committee of economic development and finance studied other draft laws to insert or eliminate in order to strengthen it.
Two articles were removed from the law; one was added while 27 others were studied.
The general assembly also studied a report carried out by the committee of social affairs, human rights and petition in the senate.
The chamber of deputies after studying the reports given by senate approved them and the whole bill in general.
