It states the following:
“The debate will be focusing on provision of the constitution making process, presidential term limits, power of the president, power for anti graft [corruption] commission to conduct independent investigations and persecute culprits, creation of position of deputy minister as well as creation of council of states”.
“The debate will also examine recommendation of the constitution technical review committee on inclusion of former members of National Assembly in Khartoum to South Sudan Legislative Assembly without conducting elections and period of transitional government. Everyone is welcome”.
During the meeting, participants will get a chance to hear from different speakers and discussions.
Of late, the debate on the constitution has gained momentum, with stakeholders sharing views on how the new constitution should look like. There has also been dispute with opposition parties walking out of constitutional discussions.

Hallo Bro,
It’s idiocy in its extremity to say that you know nothing about what University of Juba know about constitution at all. You must need to know that it is not the university premise which is going to review the Constitution.
Ah aaaaaaaaaaaaahh you must be suffering from a failure shock!!!!

Dear my fellows Southern Sudanese
my comment is really clear that Juba University does not know anything about Constitution at all. All student in Juba University were those folks who dropped out in high school in Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, and North Sudan long time ago and they went back to beg for certificates to show to the Juba University for admission. Also, some of them paid bundle of money to get these certificates; I will never respect any degree from Juba University at this time. Equally important, most of them does not even know anything about LAW, BUSINESS, ECONOMIC, AND MANY OTHER MATTERS. If our government need to review the constitution speciously they should contact WESTERN SOUTHERN SUDANESE in various Universities such as USA, CANADA, and many other countries but not Juba University. All students in Juba University are my friends, so i know them very well

Another blunder! The GOSS has been proofing that it has no brains. Can somebody tell me what is Juba University now? Nothing! A mere old building in Atla Barra.
All respectable professors and outstanding students were in Kadaru, Khartoum North. Now all staff are in the North and a new university will stem out very shortly on the dead body of the was very good university in Sudan. Southern students are now idle with uncertain future. Even final students will not be allowed to complete their studies in the North. Thanks to the silly academic policy of GOSS.
SPLM/A has destroyed everything good in the South and sold it to international companies.
Yes, you can discuss the constitution under a tree. But who are the learned and educated law makers that can do that? Name me one Southern renowned law professor among the present or the then teaching staff of Juba University!.
