Sri Lanka seems headed towards a new Constitution, Prof.
Tissa Vitarana, the Minister of Science and Technology, who is steering
the All Party Representative Conference (APRC), told a book launch in
Colombo on Friday.
``The way things are evolving, we’ll need a new
Constitution,’’ he said
The author of the book, ``A Guide to Current
Constitutional Issues in Sri Lanka,’’ Ms. Ruana Rajepakse, Attorney-at-Law
and Barrister of the Inner Temple, said in her speech that there were good
features in the present Constitution and these should be retained while
the bad could be changed.
