Why do other countries interest about our constitutional reforms? Do we have right to criticize or comment on Constitution in Europe country?This is fishy.

Will the UK High Commission tell the nation who mandated the UK government to come to this country and look into these matters? These do-gooders go to weak nations and mess up everything.
