Law reform is an essential democratic process that adapts our legal framework to reflect societal shifts and current needs. It’s not just about changing laws; it’s about ensuring they align with our cultural, technological, and economic evolution. This ongoing refinement, whether it’s repealing outdated laws or introducing new ones, must resonate with the Medium-Term Development Plan IV, the Sustainable Development Goals, the Vision 2050, and importantly, the National Goals and Directive Principles, and the National Constitution. It’s a meticulous task that also involves evaluating policies and trends to maintain a legal system that’s both relevant and effective.

 Laws shape our society and when they become the root of national issues, it’s crucial to reassess and reform them.  When laws are reviewed to suit present need , followed, enforced and implemented, they can achieve the following:

• Keep the peace and order;
• Maintain the status quo;
• Preserve individual rights;
• Protect minorities against majorities;
• Promote social justice, and
• Provide for progressive and effective social, economic, and political changes or developments.
