Interim Constitution To Be Promulgated Before Or Early On The 9th Of July News from Sudan Radio Service 9 June 2011—(Juba) —The former Member of Parliament in the National Assembly, said that the interim draft constitution will be promulgated before or early morning on the 09th of July.
Pascal Clement on Wednesday said that once the constitution is promulgated by the president, then it becomes law and starts governing the country. [Pascal Clement] “After the assembly passes, it goes to the president and once the president signs, it becomes law. This is when the constitution will start work immediately. So the president cannot sign the constitution unless it’s passed by the assembly, it means the assembly is very important in passing the constitution and also the president is very important in signing it. So the constitution is supposed to start work mid night of 08th or the early morning of 09th July. So we assume that all this process will finish and the president has to sign it before the 09th July.” Mister Clement added that this constitution is an interim constitution which shall take the country through to the permanent constitution. [Pascal Clement] This constitution is what is called interim constitution, it means after this constitution there will be permanent constitution, so this constitution is what will take us for the coming interim period probably which will be four years, after that we will draft a permanent constitution. Earlier this week, Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly organized a public debate on the draft constitution for interest groups raise their views. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
