Constitution Reform Committee to address work programme

Anil Nandlall

Urging that they put aside differences to arrive at “consensual” goals, Chairman of Parliament’s Standing Committee for Constitutional Reform, Attorney General Anil Nandall SC last week told the body that they must work together if they truly need reform to key articles.

“The only item on the agenda was to devise a work programme on how the committee should proceed with its mandate. I informed the committee that by its very nature, constitutional reform is necessarily a consensual process; since no serious reform can take place unless the two major parties are in agreement,” Nandall told Stabroek News yesterday when asked for an update on the committee.
