Sri Lanka’s parliament decided to delay the debate on implementation of the 19th Amendment after protests against summoning of Mahinda Rajakapsa to the bribery commission disrupted proceedings on Tuesday.
The 19th Amendment, which looks to curb the powers of executive presidency will be taken up for debate on the 27th of April and voted for on the 28th, reports Colombo Page.
The 19th Amendment to the constitution faced opposition from several MPs, with Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court ruling that parts of it would require a referendum in parliament to be passed.
