Part 8/9:
Presented by the Minister of Legal and Constitutional Affairs, this bill responds to persistent calls among citizens to reshape and modernize the nation's constitution. It encompasses a plan for a ceremonial Jamaican president to assume the role of head of state, thereby concluding a discussion that has been longstanding within Jamaican society.
For the bill to become law, it will need to navigate through several legislative hurdles alongside a national referendum. This movement aligns with a broader trend among former colonies reevaluating their political structures and national identities.
