Egypt's Supreme Legislative Reform Committee holds Tuesday a general session with officials from defense ministry and several other ministries to discuss the new draft of immigration law submitted by manpower and immigration ministry, Al-Bawaba News reported. The new law needs careful study from different aspects because it concerns many sovereign authorities, a member of the committee, Salah Fawzy said. Fawzy asserted that the new law will improve the state of Egyptian immigrants especially that the Egyptian Constitution gives them the full right to run for Parliament even those with dual nationalities. President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has formed the Legislative Reform Committee in June to streamline, research and study the needed decisions and draft laws that should be issued to comply with the country's new constitution, passed in January 2014. The panel is headed by Mahlab and includes ministers of parliamentary affairs and transitional justice, the head of the State Council, the state's Mufti, Al-Azhar's deputy, the head of the cabinet's advisory board, the head of the State Council's legislative department and the justice minister's assistant for legislation.
