The government authorities persist and sign that the special session in the hemicycle this Tuesday does not target the preliminary draft constitutional revision adopted by the government on September 5 last. It will be to study the budget of the National Assembly and in camera, specifies the Secretary General of the National Assembly, Fademba Waguena.
With reference to the amended constitution of 2002, the Secretary General of the Togolese National Assembly argues that even if the government wanted it, the National Assembly can under no circumstances carry out a constitutional review under urgent procedure.
First of all, it is in this capacity that the President of the Assembly convened for Wednesday the Conference of Presidents which will be able to assign the bill to a standing committee. Particularly in this case, it is the Committee on Constitutional Laws which has jurisdiction to examine this draft law , said Alphonse Fademba Waguena, before adding that the Rules of Procedure of the National Assembly states in its article 110 that the constitutional review can not be subject to urgent procedure.
And even if the National Assembly, by any gymnastics, came back to putting forward the draft bill of the government, nothing guarantees that the constitutional revision passes.
The parliamentary majority UNIR always prevails in the Chamber and still has the same prerogatives to reject this draft revision as was the case in 2015 when the proposal always came from the same government.
