A member of the House of Representatives, Rep Uzoma Nkem-Abonta on Saturday said the proposed Quarantine Bill that has heated up the Nigerian body polity would be expunged of all its satanic contents.
Nkem-Abonta Abonta revealed this in an exclusive chat with Thenewsguru.com, (TNG ) stressing that the concentious bill can’t scale through until all ugly parts are removed.
Recall that the House had last Tuesday passed the Bill Into second reading during an emergency session drawing the flaks of Nigerians because of the absolute powers given to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC.
The Abia born lawmaker said the Bill if passed will give the disease control body absolute powers to arrest anybody based on mere suspicion.
“What this means that if the centre suspects you have an infectious disease it can seal your apartment for two weeks without recourse to law.
“You have to go to the Minister of Health to seek redress after you must have been locked down by the body for two weeks.
“What we are saying is that absolute power corrupts absolutely, with such powers no one is safe and it can be used as a political tool.
“You can be detained by NCDC for that period and you can’t be bailed as you can’t go to court which is the final arbiter of justice.
“By Tuesday when we resume we shall bare the bill and make it a progressive one now that we have copies to peruse and do justice to it.
