Parliament has halted further deliberation on the Intestate Succession Bill to allow for more input from the public.

At a news conference in Accra, the Deputy Majority Leader, Rashid Pelpuo, said the purpose of the Bill is to clean up the shortcomings in the PNDC Law 111.

However, since the issue of inheritance is sensitive, there is the need for as many views as possible from Ghanaians to the churning out of a holistic law.

The Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, noted that the changing dynamics in the structure of the family which gives more recognition to the nucleus than the extended family makes inheritance issues dicey.

The Chairman of the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Emmanuel Kwasi Bandua, cited further thorny issues whose clarification are needed from the views of the public.
