SPLM-DC: Attending constitutional conference dependant on SPLM's openness to suggestions Friday, 22 April 2011 20:23 Sudan >>> In a first reaction to an invitation extended by the President of the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS), Salva Kiir Mayardit, for a conference with southern political parties to discuss the amendments in the new constitution, the Chairperson of Sudan People's Liberation Movement - Democratic Change (SPLM-DC), Lam Akol, has said on Friday that his party will only participate if suggestions made by southern political parties are considered.
The opposition leader told Radio Miraya that his party is currently studying the draft constitution. He further pointed that the issue is not the invitation, but it is about SPLM's keenness to listen to the voices of others. Meanwhile, the Secretary General of the Democratic Salvation Front, David Bil Jaal, told Radio Miraya that disputes over the draft constitution are mainly related to power sharing at the legislative and executive levels. A number southern political parties had pulled out of the Constitution Review Committee in a protest of what they described as SPLM's dominance of the committee. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
