The constituent assembly amending Egypt’s constitution will ratify on Sunday amendments relating to the constitutional status of the armed forces, the assembly’s general coordinator Gaber Nassar said.

Articles related to the armed forces are the most controversial, with debates on the appointment of the defense minister, the military trials of civilians and the army’s economic activities.

Nassar added that the assembly will discuss four suggestions relating to military trials in the new constitution on Sunday. 

He said that the assembly will make a final decision on the delayed articles, including the one on the judicial authority, before this Tuesday. 

The assembly is expected to vote on the draft constitution within a week maximum before it presents it to the president.

The draft constitution will then be displayed for public discussion then put on a referendum within 15 days.
