Luanda - The National Assembly (AN) will hold, on the 18th of this month, the final global vote on the proposed laws on Gaming Activity and Crimes of Vandalism of Public Properties and Services.
The information was released to the press on Thursday by the first secretary of the Parliamentary Board, Manuel Lopes Dembo, at the end of the Conference of Parliamentary Leaders, led by the president of the legislative body, Carolina Cerqueira.
Parliament's specialized committees are discussing the reformulation of the Proposed Law on Gaming Activity, in order to ensure that it is developed in a more fair, honest, competitive and responsible way.
With this reformulation, the aim is to establish a gaming legal system that is more suitable for regulating and controlling the activity, whilst safeguarding the defense of established rights and the legitimate expectations of gaming operators and players.
In relation to the other proposed law, the Executive proposes penalties of up to 25 years for the crimes of vandalizing public property, in response to the sharp increase in this phenomenon in recent years.
The bill also provides for penalties for the illegal transformation and export of public goods, from 10 to 15 years, and for the reception of public goods, from six to 12 years.
