The Constitution Drafting Assembly (CDA) has indicated that the recent measures taken by the House of Representatives (HoR) are violations of the constitution, including the 12th constitutional amendment proposal and the decision of the Speaker of the HoR to form a committee to amend some articles of the draft constitution that is devised by the CDA.
“The HoR procedures are a way to seize power and abort the constitutional process. They do not add any legal effects. The HoR or any other parties aren’t entitled to amend the draft constitution devised by the CDA in any way because it will constitute a violation of the actions of a constituent authority elected directly by the people.” The CDA said in a statement on Tuesday.
The CDA called on the Supreme Court to take the necessary measures to activate the work of the constitutional circuit court o consider all violations that affect the constitutional process.
It also said it was commitment to its authorized task to devise the draft constitution for the country, disregarding all violations to the draft, and calling on the UN mission to fulfill its international obligations by supporting the constitutional process and taking an explicit stance regarding any measures aimed at depriving the people of their right to a referendum on the draft constitution.
