President Karzai said Afghan constitution could be implemented, when Afghans have full independence to do so. At a ceremony marking the day on which Afghan constitution was ratified, President Karzai said progress made in the country was along with some failures in the implementation of constitution. "Fortunately, we have had some success in our work in the past seven years, but of course there were some failures in implementing the constitution," Karzai said. "One of our failures was that we couldn't implement district elections based on the constitution." President Karzai called constitution as a social contract. He said Afghan government needs Afghans' support so than constitution can be fully implemented. He said constitution could be fully and seriously implemented when politicians, tribal elders and religious scholars are politically committed to its implementation. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee said constitution should be evenly implemented on all the population. The first Afghan constitution was ratified in 1936. Karzai's government approved constitution in a gathering in 2004. The Afghan government has always insisted on national will, but Afghan analysts believe the constitution has several times been breached by the government. Posted by: Fred 2011-01-05 |
