"Over the years, the indemnification clauses have encouraged some characters to abuse their functions and take advantage of them. The constitution of the Fourth Republic was created by us, for us and to serve us, and in the light of 25 years, there is an unqualified need to reform or rewrite our present constitution. An urgent constituent badembly should be created with the necessary powers to rewrite the constitution. "
