Djibouti, January 30, 2006 (ADI) – The members of the National Assembly met this morning under the chairmanship of Idriss Arnaoud Ali with a view to adopting a motion for a resolution on the new internal rules governing parliament.

Perfecting its working methods that it had began on 21 January by voting the private bill on constitutional review ratified unanimously on 23 January by the 53 deputies present, the National Assembly this morning unanimously adopted its new internal rules.

Before the validation in the coming weeks by the Constitutional Council, the National Assembly will be endowed with an organization and methods more adapted to the needs of a modern parliament.

According to the communiqué issued after the working session, the National Assembly said that by working longer within the different commissions, the parliamentarians will be in a position to control more closely the government.

The same communiqué says that judicial reforms carried out will only be fully effective if the National Assembly manages to endow itself with the material means which are essential for it to carry out its duties.
