Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall has said that the government would more than likely be tabling the Constitutional Reform Bill when the National Assembly meets again on August 8.
During a brief comment to Sunday Stabroek, Nandlall related that the Parliamentary Standing Committee for Constitutional Reform met and agreed on the bill.
“The Opposition finally came and they basically agreed that the bill—one or two minor adjustments were suggested, which we took on board. So that bill is ready and will be laid in the National Assembly. I am hoping that this will be laid by the 8th August [but] it of course must get Cabinet’s approval. I do not see any difficulty in that regard because the bill is what we have promised in the manifesto,” he said.
