Urges govt to promulgate order, hold referendum on 48 proposed reforms

The consensus commission will submit its recommendations on implementation of the July charter today, with a proposal that some parts of the constitutional reforms may take immediate effect upon issuance of the July charter implementation order.

The National Consensus Commission is working on a special order that would authorise a referendum on implementing the just-signed July National Charter.
