Answering a question raised by a journalist regarding the Speaker’s decision on the appointment of the new Inspector General of Police, the Minister said that despite the efforts to appoint 10 members to the Constituent Assembly by amending the Constitution, the reason for this problem is that the representative to be appointed representing the minor parties has not yet been named.
