Legal Advisor at the Office of the Prime Minister Tamara Khan on Wednesday urged participants at the National Toshaos Council (NTC) conference to “read and understand” the Constitution so they can better prepare for planned constitution reform consultations.

During her presentation at the NTC conference, which will conclude today at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre at Liliendaal, Khan said that she was aware of the fact that only a few persons were familiar with the Constitution.

As a result, she proceeded to outline the functions and the importance of the Constitution, while making mention of articles regarding human rights and the protection of indigenous lands and territories.
