Prime Minister Hesham Qandil has said he considered the completion of drafting the constitution as a major step to achieve "economic take-off."
In a post on his Facebook page, Qandil called on citizens to read the articles of the constitution so that they could vote on them in accordance with the interest of the state, and thanked the Constituent Assembly for their efforts over the past six months in drafting the document.
The draft constitution, which will soon be put up for a public referendum, would be a big step towards the stabilization of the political situation in Egypt, according to Qandil, who added that this in turn would contribute to economic progress and the revolution's social justice goals.
President Mohamed Morsy will Saturday at 7 pm with members of the Constituent Assembly at the conference hall in Nasr City to receive the new draft constitution, which the assembly voted on Friday morning.
