(Lanka-e-News -10.Sep.2015, 4.00PM) During the general elections it was announced , a new country will come into being in 60 months. It was also announced a new cabinet will be formed in 60 months. Having made those announcements , did this government fool the people by taking over 3 weeks to announce the cabinet ? In any case, this delayed appointment of cabinet notwithstanding , the government is taking action to create the constitutional council , and under the 19 th amendment , an independent commission is to be appointed expeditiously.
Accordingly , representatives to the constitutional council except the three civil representatives were appointed to the constitutional council officially – they are the prime minister (P.M.) , speaker and the opposition leader.
Thereafter , Patalie Champika Ranawake as president’s representative , Dr. Wijedasa Rajapakse as P.M.’s representative and Vijitha Herath as opposition representative of the minority parties were named.
Under the 100 days interim government earlier , A.T. Ariyaratne , Ms. Radhika Kumaraswamy and W.A. Salam (retired judge) were appointed as civil representatives , but this time Salaam has suddenly begun vacillating and his official consent has not been received yet , it is learnt.
No matter what , this issue is to be resolved by tomorrow ,and it is the need of the government to ensure that the constitutional council comes into existence tomorrow so that the independent commission will immediately become active.
