Proposal For New Constitution: University Academics’ Submission

March 1st, 2016 by yohan abeynaike

The process for the formulation of a new constitution for Sri Lanka is now underway. Constitution making is an important chapter in the history of the country as it sets the legal framework for the country. As the process begins it is important for the public to be engaged in the discussions surrounding the drafting of the constitution as it will affect the lives of the people for years to come.

Recently, a collection of university academics submitted some preliminary observations that should be taken into account as we being this process. A significant number of these university academics are Christians from a FOCUS background who have taken into account lessons from our history as well as current realities in presenting these ideas to be seriously taken into account when drafting the new constitution. The full text of their submission can be read here – https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/proposal-for-new-constitution-university-academics-submission/.

Let us keep the whole of this process in our prayers at this crucial juncture of our nation’s history.
