He stressed that the laws and legislations should be away from political bickering and to be more concerned and serious regarding this step especially that the parliamentary elections are not far and that dictates on he political parties and organisations and MPs to speed up approval of the list of candidates to be referred to the president according to the law on choosing the supreme commission for elections and referendum.
