The House of Representatives has passed the Anti-Gang Bill 2024, designed to maintain public order by discouraging gang involvement and penalizing gang-related activities.
The bill covers offenses such as gang participation, recruitment, and possessing weapons for gang purposes, while allowing police to arrest without a warrant in specific cases.
It mandates that individuals serve at least 50% of the maximum sentence and requires consecutive sentencing for multiple offenses.
The bill was debated by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Sir Steadroy Cutie Benjamin, and other members of the House.
