Guinea's transitional leader Col Mamady Doumbouya has urged the constitutional review committee to consider the "needs and realities" of the country and draft a robust new supreme law," the privately-owned Africaguinee website reported."Our country needs tranquillity, not just permanent transitional periods.
So today we are talking about the constitution.
We need to be able to think about putting in place a strong constitution adapted to our needs and realities," he said on Tuesday while launching the constitutional review symposium in the capital, Conakry.He warned the committee against drafting a "copy and paste or tailor-made" constitution for the country.The junta leader said that the National Transitional Committee is committed to drafting a new constitution for posterity and not one to suit the interim authorities.Opposition groups and the civil society have called for protests to demand the resignation of the transitional government.The junta has pledged to hand over power to civilian authorities at the end of the two-year transition period that started in January.
