President Irfaan Ali has directed that Attorney General Anil Nandlall circulate the draft electoral reform legislation next week so that stakeholders can make their inputs before the amendments are laid in the National Assembly.
“[What] we’re working on is to have this the draft legislation circulated sometime next week among all the stakeholders. We have to have an efficient timeframe on this. I’ve also asked him [the Attorney General] that circulation be done sometime next week and that six weeks be given for the review and comments on the draft legislation,” Ali told reporters during a virtual press conference yesterday.
He added that after the review process is completed, then the government can move forward with “expeditiously” tabling the legislation.
