Egypt military dissolved the country's Parliament and suspended it's constitution Sunday following the ouster of longtime leader Mohamed Mubarak, telling Egyptians it would be in charge for six months or until elections can be held.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said it would appoint a committee to propose changes to the Constitution, which would then be submitted to voters. The council will have the power to issue new laws during the transition period according to a communique read on state television.
This current composition is basically a technocratic government to run the day-to-day affairs to take care of the security void that has happened and to also address the issues related to the economy " Shoukry told CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS."
However a leading opposition figure said Sunday that the military must explain its plans in more detail or see a resumption of the demonstrations that drove Mohamed Mubarak from office.
They need to come out of their headquarters and start talking to the people and tell us what is in store for us," ElBaradei told GPS.
And a prominent Egyptian activist credited with helping spark the revolution warned against taking too long to establish a new representative government.
