PPP/C open to constitutional reform but alarmed over breaches – Jagdeo

Although the PPP/C is open to constitutional reform, it is concerned about the process involved, as well as alleged breaches of the Constitution by the government, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said on Monday.

During a PPP/C press conference, Jagdeo said it was unclear which external agency was helping government to drive the process forward.

Asked for his views on a public consultation on constitutional reform which was held last week Friday, Jagdeo, a former president, informed that during a previous meeting with a United Nations (UN) team, the PPP/C had expressed some concerns. He said that the team had informed that the government was pursuing constitutional reform and the UN wanted to hear the opposition’s views.
