P.C.C. Gets 6-Month Extension to Complete Work

It was in May that the People’s Constitutional Commission asked the government for an extension to complete its work and this week, the Cabinet approved that request. Cabinet granted the six-month extension, which now extends the Commission’s mandate from May fifteenth to November fourteenth. This should give the body sufficient time to properly complete its work. The P.C.C has been meeting and holding consultations since it was formulated on November twenty-fourth, 2022. It is tasked with conducting a comprehensive review of the Belize Constitution and carry out an educational campaign, countrywide consultations and create and maintain a record of the views and opinions shared during the period of its work. The Commission is expected to produce a final report with details of its findings and that will be presented to the Prime Minister.
