Constitutional reform process will be inclusive – Nandlall

The PPP/C cannot force any changes to the laws of this country on citizens and therefore the constitutional reform process will see suggestions for legislative changes from across the country, Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC has said.

If inclusive governance is to be one of those laws, then it will be from a recommendation made by the people and for the people, he reasoned, underscoring that consultations by the Constitutional Reform Commission will be inclusive for all citizens of this country.

“This Constitutional Reform Commission is not a PPP/C organ, but a national, broad-based, multi-stakeholder organisation as is outlined in its creating statute. Every citizen, stakeholder organisation, civil society groups and political parties will have an opportunity to consult with and make recommendations to the commission including the PPP/C on all matters which they deem fit, including matters relating to governance,” Nandlall said.
