The debate for the adoption of the 22nd Amendment to Sri Lanka’s Constitution aimed at empowering Parliament over the executive president has been put on hold Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said that more discussion would be needed before presenting the bill.
The parliamentary debate was fixed for October 6 and 7th. Understandably the ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) party coalition is not in favor of the amendments.
