The proposed 20th Amendment to the Constitution contains nothing detrimental to society, but will only pave the way for an efficient administrative structure, Minister of Justice Ali Sabry said.
The Minister made these remarks yesterday (21) in Parliament while opening the two-day debate on the 20th Amendment Bill.
He explained that there was undue fear over the proposed piece of legislation as it would not provide any additional powers to the executive president that were not already vested with the executive under the 1978 Constitution.
Sabry also said the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, through hybrid in nature, had created many complications in the country’s administrative structure, which even the architects of the said legislation had later admitted.
According to the Minister of Justice, the country’s administration should give priority to serving the public and not give excuses for failing to serve the people.
