The Constitutional Reform Commission Act was on Thursday amended with unanimous support from the National Assembly to correct an error in the number of members on the Commission from 20 to 21, and it now paves the way for the Commission to begin its work.
Attorney General Anil Nandlall said that the amendment “takes effect from the date as it was retroactive [to the date of the Previous Act]”.
In November 2022, the Bill was passed with the expectation that the government would move swiftly to begin the constitutional reform process.
