Noting that the making of the Constitution was a complicated process, the minister said that with the change of times and people’s needs, it needs changing.
“The draft of Sri Lanka’s new Constitution has been completed and it is expected to be ready for Parliament’s approval by early 2022,” Foreign Minister G L Peiris said on Tuesday.
Peiris said that as pledged by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in his presidential election manifesto in 2019, he has appointed a committee of experts to formulate the draft.
“This draft has now been completed and awaiting to be sent to the Legal Draftsman,” Peiris said, hoping that the final draft would be made available by the turn of the new year.
