AMMAN (JT) - His Majesty King Abdullah is scheduled to receive today the recommendations of the Royal committee entrusted with reviewing the Constitution, which was formed in April under the King’s directives.

On the occasion, King Abdullah will deliver a speech at Raghadan Palace in the presence of several Royal family members, heads and members of the legislative, executive and judicial authorities along with senior officials, politicians, diplomats and media personnel, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The Royal Committee on Constitutional Review wrapped up its work on Wednesday.

Its president, veteran statesman Ahmad Lozi, was quoted by Petra as saying that the panel has conducted an intensive and comprehensive review of the amendments made to the 1952 Constitution during the past three months with the aim of “adding the necessary articles to meet the requirements of reform”.

Lozi added that the constitutional amendments have centred on separation between the judicial, legislative and executive powers as well as ensuring complete independence of the judiciary, taking into consideration the outcomes of the National Dialogue Committee meetings.

Meanwhile, the committee’s members will hold a press conference on Tuesday at the Royal Cultural Centre to talk about the suggested amendments delivered to the King, Petra reported.

Members of the committee, Senate President Taher Masri, Senator Fayez Tarawneh and Chairman of the Higher Judicial Council Rateb Wazani will attend the conference, moderated by Jordan Press Association President Tareq Momani.
