PODIS leader Halifa Sallah has insisted the fuss around the draft constitution is strictly a parliamentary matter requiring consultation between the executive and parliament.
Sallah has been ruing the rejection of his request for permission to move a motion to scrap the draft constitution vote-down by MPs in September.
The Barrow government has turned to mediation specialist Dr Goodluck Jonathan to find consensus on the draft constitution ahead of its planned return to the national assembly.
But Halifa Sallah appearing perplexed has asked what is there to mediate.
He told reporters this past Wednesday: ” Since we have power to rescind a decision during a session, now we wanted to create a precedent that will also enable us to rescind a decision of another session. That’s all I was seeking from the speaker and from the national assembly members.
“And why was that necessary? Because they’re talking about the constitution building process, they even invited an international delegation. To do what? What mediation? This is about a bill to be brought to the national assembly, to be decided by three- quarters majority before we can proceed to the next stage and even to a referendum. That is a parliamentary matter.”
