Gov't may seek overseas help to implement outstanding issues on legislative agendas

Government may have to draw on overseas talent to help with the implementation of several outstanding issues on legislative agendas.

Minister of Legal and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Marlene Malahoo Forte, had outlined early this year that her Ministry will take charge of and give focused attention to the Government's legislative agenda and its legal and constitutional reform aspirations.

Two key areas included the administration's legislative plans to break with the British monarchy and to establish Jamaica as a republic, as well as a reformation of Jamaica's laws to begin the process of reviewing the country's Constitution.

The Legal and Consitution Affairs Minister in a recent interview with Television Jamaica's Kirk Wright highlighted several challenges dogging the proposed legislative changes.
