Reactivating former provincial councils: No legal provision: Govt.

31 Dec 2020

  • SLFP proposal not practical, says Govt.

  • No official discussion on holding polls 

  The Ministry of Public Services, Provincial Councils, and Local Government said the proposal by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) to reactivate the already expired provincial councils (PCs) is not practical and that there are no such provisions in the law. Ministry Secretary J.J. Rathnasiri told The Morning that there are no provisions whatsoever allowing an extension of an already expired council. When asked whether the SLFP’s request was discussed, Rathnasiri said that nothing has been discussed regarding the PC elections. SLFP General Secretary and State Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara told the media a few days ago that the Central Committee of the SLFP had decided to propose to the Government the reactivation of the PCs until the PC elections are held. He said the proposal will request the Government to create an environment where provincial councillors can serve in their respective councils until an election is called for.
