One of the most influential members added that he will staunchly oppose any attempt to the system because it goes against the regulations in force.

But all it seems that the president will try to convince his collaborators to adopt these changes, which have been imposed by the ministry, and starts the setting up of committees to work on the project , likely to be presented to the general assembly next July.
