Five Members of Parliament have reintroduced the Criminal Offences (Amendment) Bill. This bill aims to stop people from accusing or labeling others as witches.
The proposed law seeks to criminalize such accusations. It is intended to protect individuals from the harmful effects of witchcraft accusations.
This is not the first time this bill has been presented. Lawmakers hope for its passage this time around.
The bill addresses a social issue that has led to violence and ostracization in some communities.
Parliament will now debate and consider the bill. Its passage would introduce legal consequences for making witchcraft accusations.
