Recommendations needed for Constitutional Reform

Citizens urged to submit recommendations to the NACCR for constitutional reform

Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago – The National Advisory Committee on Constitutional Reform (NACCR) is inviting individual and corporate citizens to submit their recommendations for Constitutional Reform.

Over the past few weeks, the eight-member Committee has focused on developing strategies to encourage citizens locally and throughout the diaspora to send their recommendations on reforming the Constitution. Chaired by Mr. Barendra Sinanan, the Advisory Committee comprises distinguished members including Dr. Terrence Farrell, Mr. Nizam Mohammed, Mrs. Helen Drayton, Ms. Hema Narinesingh, Mr. Winston Rudder, Ms. Jacqueline Sampson-Miguel, and Mr. Raye Sandy.

The Committee aims to promote a citizen-centred approach to reform. It will be implementing a campaign to illustrate the importance of the Constitution to every individual, while reaching out to all citizens through traditional and social media announcements, and public consultations. The Committee plans to engage with a broad cross-section of individual and corporate citizens, encompassing political parties, NGOs, the corporate sector, religious bodies, trade unions, educators, and students.
A dedicated website will be launched where citizens can download the Constitution and review helpful information, including the proposals of previous commissions and committees. In the interim, the Committee invites interested persons to visit the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago website under the Constitution section. All submitted recommendations will be synthesized and compiled into a working document for a national Constitution Conference in June 2024.
The Committee invites citizens to submit their recommendations via email: naccr.secretariat@gov.tt or send them to the attention of the Secretary of the National Advisory Committee on Constitutional Reform, Level 21, Tower D, International Waterfront Centre, 1A Wrightson Road, Port of Spain.
