With the Constitution Reform Commission bill set for debate in the National Assembly shortly, the government says that the process to revamp Guyana’s charter is expected to commence in earnest early next year.
The announcement was made by Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira on Tuesday during the national stakeholders’ consultation on electoral reform.
“I should point out that this process that we’re going through today, which is dealing with electoral law, that is amendments to statutes is distinctly separate from the constitutional reform process, which will commence in early 2023. That bill for the composition for the Commission for constitutional reform, which is made up equally of members of political parties and civil society is on the order paper for the National Assembly when it meets after recess,” she said.
