A new Security and Intelligence Agencies Bill caused arguments in Parliament. The government wants to change Ghana's national security structure. It also wants to revert the name of the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) to the Bureau of National Intelligence (BNI).
Reports indicate that there was heated debate between members of the Majority and Minority. The proposed changes affect important parts of Ghana's security agencies.
The bill suggests new ways to manage intelligence and security operations. Lawmakers discussed these proposed changes in detail.
Supporters of the bill argued for a stronger national security framework. This framework would improve how intelligence is gathered and used.
Opponents raised concerns about the impact of these changes on civil liberties. They also questioned the need for the name change.
The discussion showed different views on the best way to protect Ghana. Further debates are expected as the bill moves forward in Parliament.
