NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Attorney General Ryan Pinder expressing confidence today, the Davis administration will have legislation in place to replace Emergency Orders by November, when the current state of emergency is set to end.
The new attorney general reaffirming the Davis administration’s commitment to ending the Emergency Orders.
The State of Emergency, which is set to expire in just over a month, has been in place since the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in The Bahamas in March 2020. It empowers the prime minister, as Competent Authority, to impose restrictions such as curfews, lockdowns and border closures, to curb the spread of the virus in country.
While in Opposition, Philip Davis promised to end Emergency Orders.
Pinder did not mention what would happen to a bill tabled in August by the former administration to put in place a statutory framework to mitigate public health emergencies.
However, he said the government will set up a legal framework to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and any future pandemics that may affect The Bahamas.
