The accountability of the new prime minister, was the main source of
difference among the national dialogue forces as many opponents said
he should be accountable to the parliament but the ruling National
Congress Party (NCP) wants he remains responsible before the head of
the state pointing that his legitimacy emanates from the president who
appoints him.
Tadjadine Bechir Niam a member of the consensus committee which is
tasked with the elaboration of compromises on contentious issues
announced Thursday they reached a compromise on the responsibility of
the prime minister, saying "he will be accountable to the president
and the parliament alike".
On the term of the transitional government called the ’National
consensus Government’, Niam said that it has been agreed that the
cabinet will be dissolved by the end of April 2020 which coincides
with the end of the presidential term of Omer al-Bashir.
The dialogue parties agreed that a new government should be formed
within 90 days after the endorsement by the dialogue conference. Also,
the constitutional amendments including the creation of the post of
prime minister should be immediately referred to the parliament and
the lawmakers should vote it within 60 days.
Niam said that all the dialogue committees ended their works on
Wednesday and endorsed their recommendations.
He pointed that a meeting would be held on Sunday to brief the
President al-Bashir on the outcome of the different committees and
what the parties reached on the contentious issues.
The National Dialogue National Assembly, which will begin its meeting
on Monday, will endorse the principles of a permanent constitution
that the transitional chamber would elaborate.
Monday’s conference which will take place with the participation of
regional leaders will not include the opposition armed and political
groups.
The government slammed the opposition groups saying they are not
serious about peace and dialogue and stressed they would go ahead with
the outcome of the conference without waiting the opposition Sudan
Call forces .
