The chairman of the Constitutional Review Commission Cherno Sulayman Jallow has said their individual and professional integrity as well as that of the constitutional reform process prompted their reaction.
Chairman Jallow said at a press conference on Thursday: “The failure of the Draft Constitution to gain the required votes to move on to the next stages leading to a verdict by the people at a referendum has generated a lot of debate.
“We at the CRC do not seek to question parliamentary wisdom regarding the fate of the Draft Constitution. That is a political process from which we will steer away. It is, therefore, not necessarily my intention here today to get into the debate of what is or what is not or what could have been.
“However, for the sake of the integrity of the constitutional reform process and our own individual and professional integrity, I consider it necessary to address two matters that appear to have gained some traction in the public space.”
