The Bill titled: “National Health Emergency Bill” sponsored by the Chairman Senate Committee on Communicable Diseases and Primary Healthcare, Senator Chukwuka Utazi scaled first reading on Tuesday.
However, after the Bill was read for the first time in the Senate, former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, demanded for a gazetted copy of the Bill. “We want to have copies of the gazetted copies. There is controversy over the same Bill in the House of Representatives. Lawan said: “The copies are ready and everybody will get a copy. We are not taking the second reading immediately. That will be done next week. So, members will have the time to read the contents of the Bill.”
Abaribe had earlier submitted a petition from Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress , urging the Senate to halt the confirmation of the nominees.
