TAM Report ||
The National Consensus Commission is set to begin the second phase of reform discussions with political parties and other stakeholders on Monday, following the conclusion of its initial round of talks in May.
Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, who also chairs the commission, will inaugurate the new round of meetings at 4:30pm at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka, reports bdnews24.com.
The first phase of the commission’s dialogue ran from Mar 20 to May 19 and included extensive engagements with political parties on reform proposals.
The commission, comprising the heads of the constitutional, electoral, judiciary, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), police, and public administration reform panels, was tasked with building consensus on key proposals and drafting a “National Charter.”
It officially began work on Feb 15 with a six-month mandate.
A week later, on Mar 5, a spreadsheet summarising 166 key recommendations—70 on constitutional reform, 27 on electoral reform, 23 on judiciary reform, 26 on public administration, and 20 on the ACC—was shared with 38 political parties and alliances for their feedback.
