20th amendment will not be taken up by present parliament - to be dissolved immediately after speaker signs 19 th amendment

(Lanka-e-News- 13.May.2015, 3.45PM) The proposed electoral system , that is,  the 20 th amendment to the constitution , apparently will not be tabled in parliament  as the  situation is not conducive to  this. Hence in order to make room for this proposal to be taken up in the new parliament  , the government and the president are  contemplating dissolving the parliament as early as possible , according to reports reaching Lanka e news.

Though the new electoral system  was to be passed in parliament before the dissolution as promised by the president , since minority parties have still not taken a stable stance in that regard , it  has become impossible to present the 20 th amendment  swiftly in parliament . Moreover , as the defeated  and rejected Rajapakse and his  despicable slaves are trying to make the parliament a venue to vent their venoms and vengeances to the detriment of the people and the country , the government and President have decided to hasten the dissolution of the parliament. 

Based on these trends , the prime minister (P.M) yesterday addressing a foreign media briefing said , the parliament’s term is petering  to an end , hence it is useless bringing new  enactments and delaying its dissolution. The right to information bill that was promised to be presented in parliament during the 100 days interim program ,however  will not materialize , and will be presented  only after the new parliament is appointed, the P.M. explained.  

In all probability after the speaker signs the 19 th amendment , the parliament will be dissolved. It is learnt that as there were many amendments incorporated in the 19 th amendment , after the Attorney general’s ratification , the speaker shall be placing his signature. Already the speaker has received the  final Sinhala copy of the amendment, while the Tamil and English copies are expected to be completed during the course of the day- today. Accordingly , the speaker shall sign the 19 th amendment after he arrives in Colombo tomorrow (14). Thereafter the parliament shall be dissolved , informed sources within government revealed.
