“Immediately after Gov. Mai Mala Buni’s national assignment, he called for the three laws, which are Child Protection Law, Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP), and Administration of Justice Reform Law.

“He assented the three Bills into law on the same day. This is because the governor believes that these laws will impact positively on people of the state.
