Justice Minister orders to suspend issuing of gazette on 22nd Amendment
The Secretary of the Justice Ministry has been instructed by Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe not to gazette the proposed 22nd Amendment to the Constitution dealing with the Presidential term, until the Presidential elections are held.
The Cabinet of Ministers has given the green light to publish in the Government Gazette and then table in parliament for approval the bill prepared to amend a paragraph of the Constitution with regard to the tenure of the President.
The Cabinet of Ministers had given its policy approval on July 09 to amend paragraph (b) of Article 83 of the Constitution by replacing the words “exceeding six years” with the words “exceeding five years” stated in paragraph (b) of Article 83 of the Constitution.
However, a senior Government official said that the Government has so far not taken a decision to suspend the publication of the particular Gazette notification.
