The Catholic Bishops’ Conference in Sri Lanka has released a statement today (13), calling for a new constitution to be established in the country instead of enforcing the 20th Amendment.
Issuing a statement today, the Catholics Bishops’ Conference has called for the appointment of an independent constitutional council to draft a new constitution and said drafters must plug the loopholes that can lead to multiple interpretations.
"In the wake of the change in Government following Presidential and Parliamentary elections, the Catholic Bishops' Conference in Sri Lanka is constrained to share its grave concern to protect the sacredness of the State that transcends the mutable and governing bodies," it stated.
It also emphasized that the concentration of power on one individual does not augur well for a Democratic Socialist Republic.
Greater clarity is needed if the Constitution is to serve the citizenry, thus the 20th Amendment should not be proceeded with, in its entirety, and instead, a new constitution should be the national priority at the moment, it concluded.Catholic Bishops' Conference opposes 20A
