Katatni Welcomes Egyptian President’s Decree Reinstating People’s Assembly

Dr. Mohamed Saad Katatni, Speaker of the Egyptian People’s Assembly (PA), welcomed the decision of the President of the Republic Mohamed Morsi to rescind the President of the Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF)’s decree dissolving the PA, and to call for the democratically elected institution to convene.

The PA’s Speaker said that this decision promotes and reflects respect for the rule of law and state institutions. He further pointed out that the PA will execute its legislative and oversight roles, as soon as it reconvenes, in a few hours, out of respect for the law and the Constitution.
