Constitution Review Committee won’t decide what goes into reform bills – Barker-Vormawor
Secretary to the Constitution Review Implementation Committee, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, says the committee will not determine which proposals ultimately become bills in the constitutional reform process.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor, Secretary to the Constitution Review Implementation Committee, has clarified the committee's role in the constitutional reform process. The lawyer and activist stated that the committee is a technical body, not a policy one, and will not decide which proposals become part of the reform bills. Mr. Barker-Vormawor emphasized that the committee's mandate is to convey stakeholders' views to the government and facilitate discussions as needed.
He further clarified that the committee will not dictate the content of the reform bills but will instead work within the political consensus reached through the process. The committee's role is likened to that of the Electoral Commission or a midwife, focusing on facilitating the process rather than determining its outcome.
