Former Deputy Chairman of the Firearms Licensing Authority, FLA, Dennis Meadows is attributing accountability problems at the entity to the archaic nature of the Firearms Act.
In a release on Tuesday, Meadows explained that, several debatable points in the act, are fueling questions of corruption at the organisation.
Meadows noted that the discretionary clauses under the Firearms Act is problematic.
He explained that discretionary powers will continue to feed instances and perceptions of corruption.
The FLA’s former deputy chairman is calling for the removal of political control in relation to the gun licensing process.
Meanwhile, Meadows is calling for an adjustment to the Review Board’s process.
He added that the law should also clearly define who is a “fit and proper” person.
