Delayed federalism
approved for constitution
(Al-Sabah al-Jadeed)
Judge Wael Abdul Latif, a member of the committee to
draft the constitution, said the committee members
approved federalism for the constitution. He added
that according to the constitution, the provinces
will have some authority while the federal system is
being established in the coming two years. He was
referring to the postponement of federalism to
satisfy the Sunni members and citizens who know
nothing about federalism. He added that the
government will deal with the centralization system
for the time being. The committee decided to present
the drafting of the constitution by the deadline of
August 15.
