Hearings: Could This Be True?

According to Al-Nahar, talk has been heard of including a possible pointer in the Government Policy Statement, which is scheduled to be released today, that basically calls for establishing a committee from within the government ranks and Parliament charged to hold "hearings" on the new electoral law.

People, did you hear this: HEARINGS? Could this be true that we are moving forward? That we're enacting something of what modern, developed states do? That our government and Parliament want to hear from the stakeholders and the public on the electoral law?

I hope such an initiative will be the beginning of establishing a process of holding hearings before enacting important laws.

Will write more soon...
