Luanda – The National Assembly (AN) will discuss on Thursday (March 18) the proposal on partial review of the Constitution, brought forward by Angolan president, João Lourenço.
In the proposal, it is requested that the President at the end of his term be prevented from taking substantive decisions, which may compromise his successor, and that the figure of a Government under current management be created.
Among the innovations proposed by the Constitution review, highlight goes to the setting the election date, right to exercise vote abroad, scrapping local power gradualness in the Constitution.
The revision also enables the major independence for the Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA), with the nomination of the governor going through the National Assembly, contrary to the present procedure that is an exclusive power of the President of the Republic.
The Parliamentary debate will define criteria and make a final decision on the institutionalisation model of the local Powers in the country.
The Constitution review, among other points, calls for clarification of the relationship model between the President of the Republic and Parliament, in relation to political control of the Executive, through enquiries, auditing or interpellations.
