Sri lanka Prime Minister Ranil Wickremsinghe on Tuesday said the Government will look to devolve power without damaging the united nature of the country in the new Constitution to be formulated by next year. “We will look to devolve power without damaging the unitary and united nature of the country,” Wickremesinghe said addressing a workshop here.
“We will also look at decentralisation of power in addition to devolution,” he said adding that the whole parliament would be converted into a Constitutional Assembly.
“The Constitutional Assembly will report back to parliament and we are hoping to have the new Constitution ready by 2017 when the 70th anniversary of Parliament falls,” Wickremesinghe said.
