Article 9...Reading through the draft constitution.<br /><br />Article 90. 2 The Presiednt should not appoint Consuls in foreing missions let the Ministry of Foreign affairs appoint suitable candidates for these Positions<br />... ... <br />Age of judges increased to 75 yrs why?????? article 185 (1)<br /><br />Article 120. (1) The Appointment of Cabinet Ministers outside parliament will be 21 cabinet ministers plus 10 Provincial Ministers article 121. (1) totalling 31 all appointed by the President meaning a reduction of the 31 from the 250 gives actually a total 219 to be contested among the members of parliament and gives a head start to the ruling party . Currently the 2/3rd majority requires 105 member which is 66% of the total MPs in parliament aganist 54% being proposed.<br /><br />There is the issue of Provincial Assemblies and Speakers and Deputy Speakers in provinces and the provincial Ministers and the elected MPs in those provinces will 2gther councils have deliberations i dont know exactly what they be doing.<br /><br />All Ps now callled Parliamentary Secretaries shall be appointed by the President , i propose we move away from this .
