Sri Lanka's cabinet on Sunday approved the draft bill on the 19th Amendment to the constitution, amending powers vested with the executive president.
Reforms will include the reduction of the president's term from six years to five years and transferring the power to dissolve parliament from the president to parliament itself.
"The Presidential immunity from being sued over matters conducted during his period of office is to also be removed under the proposed reforms," reported Sri Lankan government's news site.
The bill is set to be tabled in parliament over the next few days.
