MONROVIA, February 27 (LINA) – The Constitution Review Committee (CRC) will convene a National Constitution Conference in Gbarnga, Bong County from March 22-29, to review the over 56,000 views received during consultations across the country.


 
The forum is part of the CRC efforts in validating outcomes of the just-ended consultations in the 73 electoral districts, leading to amendment of the 1986 Constitution of Liberia.
 
The timetable for the discussions was contained in a letter to the Senate dated February 18 and read in Plenary Thursday, requesting a meeting with the Upper House for updates and preliminary results collected by the CRC during dialogues across the country and the Diasporas.
 
According to the letter, the Bong conference will review recommendations from Liberians and also obtain consensus from participants on the proposed amendment to the 1986 Constitution.
