However, the session was marked by a temporary disruption, with some MPs engaging in war of words over regional consultations.
The distribution of the report comes at a time when some MPs have expressed their objection to the amendments, arguing that Puntland and Jubaland had not been properly consulted.
The session also occurs as plans are underway for a consultative forum between the federal government and the opposition’s Future Council on 1st February to discuss constitutional amendments and the upcoming presidential election.
