CAMA: Buhari gets ultimatum to revoke assent
The body told him to send the legislation back to the National Assembly to address its fundamental flaws, including removal of “repressive provisions particularly sections 839, 842, 843, 844 and 850 contained in Part F of the Act, and any other similar provisions.”
The rights group said the CAMA law gives the government discretionary powers to arbitrarily withdraw, cancel or revoke the certificate of any association, suspend and remove trustees, take control of finances of any association, and to merge two associations without their consent and approval of their members.
“By seeking to suspend and remove trustees, and appoint interim managers for associations, the government seems to want to place itself in a position to politicise the mandates of such association, and to undermine the ideas that the right to freedom of association and related rights are supposed to protect in a democratic society,” it said.
The government also has the power to treat two or more associations as a single association if the associations have the same trustees.
