<\/a> LEGISLATION WATCH- House moves up vote on general committee report on proposed constitutional amendments:<\/b> The House of Representatives is due to vote on Wednesday on a report prepared by its general committee, which is comprised of the House speaker and heads of committees, on proposed amendments to the constitution, according to Ahram Online<\/a>. The plenary session vote was originally scheduled for next Sunday, 17 February. \u201cIf approved in principle, the 26-page report on the amendments will be referred to the constitutional and legislative affairs committee to be discussed in detail in hearing sessions,\u201d the newspaper writes. The committee must approve the amendments before they are put to a final vote within parliament.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/b> The amendments would extend the presidential term to six years instead of the current four and include a transitional clause that could allow President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to run for two additional terms after his current term ends in 2022, among a host of other changes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some politicians are all for the amendments:<\/b> A group of Egyptian political parties voiced their support yesterday for the proposed amendments, citing the \u201cexceptional circumstances\u201d in which the 2014 constitution came out. In separate statements, the parties (Hizb Al Geel, the Free Egyptians and Hezb Al Moatamar Al Masry) expressed said it is in the national interest to \u201cupdate\u201d the constitution, according to Al Masry Al Youm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amr Moussa urges caution:<\/b> Former Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa, who headed the committee of 50 that drafted the 2014 constitution, appeared to urge caution on Saturday<\/a> as the House takes up the amendments, warning that \u201cthe state of anticipation and confusion \u2026 over the vagueness surrounding the constitutional amendments \u2026 could develop into negativity that would affect the entire country.\u201d Moussa called for public consultations on the amendments. His \u201ccarefully worded\u201d comments were a reflection of how \u201cvibrant opposition to the changes has so far been restricted mostly to Facebook posts, tweets and a small number of newspaper articles worded with diligent caution,\u201d Hamza Hendawi writes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
