Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The national parliament has re-passed the final reading stage of the disputed constitution-making process bill, 2022.<\/p>\n

The draft constitutional bill was passed for the second time after it was recalled when the peace parties resolved the rift among members of the August House.<\/p>\n

In July, a section of the parliament unilaterally passed the bill in the absence of SPLM-IO lawmakers who were boycotting sittings at the time.<\/p>\n

But Monday\u2019s sitting has endorsed the constitutional-making bill to the final stages.<\/p>\n

John Agany, the spokesperson of the transitional legislature said the bill is only awaiting the signature of president Salva Kiir Mayardit to pass it into law.\u201cThe bill has been passed into its final reading and it will make the way to the president where it will be passed [ ascended] to law. So, congratulations to the national legislative assembly for passing this important bill which has been called for by the agreement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is one of the bills that will prepare the nation of South Sudan to have a working permanent constitution. and it is one of the important bills that will invite the grassroots to participate in this important constitution-making process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Constitutional Process Bill was submitted to the transitional parliament by Justice Minister Rueben Madol in April this year.<\/p>\n

According to the peace deal, the draft bill is expected to guide the establishment of a legal framework to govern the permanent constitution-making process.<\/p>\n

It also aims to guarantee good governance, constitutionalism, rule of law, human rights, and gender equality as key benchmarks for the conduct of general elections by the end of the transitional period.<\/p>\n

The National Constitutional Amendment Committee was established in line with the 2015 peace deal to spearhead constitutional amendments in the country.<\/p>\n
