The proposed Grazing Bill which was expected to be presented to the Anambra State House of Assembly for debate and approval has suffered a setback, as state legislators have backed out of any future proceedings.
Before the Bill can be passed, it is expected to have two-third majority support within the legislature.
Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Mrs. Rita Maduagwu, while briefing newsmen on her score card in the past one year in office being marked today (Tuesday); stated that the stakeholders, elders, the clergy and the Anambra league of professionals had roundly kicked against the bill and advised the legislative chamber to distance itself from it in the interest of the citizenry and the lgbo race in general.
She said: "The Anambra State league of professionals recently came from Lagos to see us and advised us not to support the grazing bill because of the implications and who are we say no if the people of Anambra State have spoken."
Under her watch, Maduagwu told newsmen that the State Legislature had passed four new bills, and ten amended ones.
She thanked the Governor of the state, Chief Willie Obiano for providing the lawmakers with an enabling environment to function as an arm of Government, adding that there had been a cordial relationship between the executive and the legislature.
