Okin Biscuits resumes production after 17 years The once-popular Okin Biscuits has resumed production for the first time in 17 years, after rehabilitating one of its production lines that had been shut down when vandals stole its cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors, and other electronic components. The company disclosed this in a statement posted on its official Facebook page on Wednesday, describing Tuesday’s development as a significant milestone.

 Guinea-Bissau to vote on new constitution that would expand presidential powers


Guinea-Bissau, which is currently led by military officers who staged a coup last year, will hold a constitutional referendum ​on August 30 that would expand the power of ‌the presidency and reshape rules for elections scheduled for December.


Under the current constitution, Guinea-Bissau's legislature names a prime minister who appoints a cabinet. The new constitution ​would allow the president to appoint and dismiss the prime ​minister and cabinet. The president would also be able to ⁠create or abolish government ministries, chair the Council of Ministers, dissolve ​parliament in the event of a grave political crisis and dismiss ​the government under certain circumstances, according to a copy seen by Reuters.


The new constitution would also shrink parliament to 65 seats from 102 and cut the number of electoral constituencies to 12 from 29.


The constitution would require presidential candidates to have resided permanently in Guinea-Bissau for the previous five years, a condition not included in the ⁠current ​constitution, which requires candidates to be Guinean ​citizens by birth, at least 35 years old and in full possession of civil ​and political rights.
