A member of the House of Representatives ad hoc Committee
on Review of the Constitution, Ibrahim El-Sudi has stated that the
overwhelming position as collated from the sitting of the House is that
the present presidential system of four years, of two terms should be
retained.
This is against the recommendation by the Senate committee on
Constitution amendment, which recommends a single term of six years for
President and Governors.
According to Mr El-Sudi, who was a guest on Channels TV weekend
programme; Sunrise, the two chambers of the National Assembly, will have
to come together via an harmonisation committee to thrash out their
differences ahead of the final amendment.
The lawmaker based the House decision on the claim that when elected
for a single term, the elected officers will deliberately not perform
because there is nothing to loose.
