  • 20A, Sovereignty of the People and the Need for Approval at a Referendum
    20A, Sovereignty of The People and The Need for Approval at A Referendum Dr. Jayampathy Wickramaratne, President’s Counsel The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution Bill (20A) has been published. If I were to describe it in one sentence—20A seeks to take the country backwards to the 2010-2015 period. The only features introduced by the Nineteenth Amendment (19A) that would survive if 20A is passed in its present form would be the five-year terms of the President and Parliament, the Presidential term-limit and the fundamental right to access of information (RTI). Now, after the Cabinet of Ministers approved the Bill, concerns are raised by Ministers themselves; also by Government MPs and those who support the Government. The Prime Minister has appointed a committee to go into the Bill. Now, no one claims paternity to 20A—hopefully, everything will not be blamed on the very conscientious officers of the Legal Draftsman’s Department, who only do what the relevant Cabinet memorandum tells them to. If 20A was an urgent Bill (abolished by 19A and sought to be permitted again by 20A) there would not have been even the opportunity for such discussion and dissent. The Bill would have been passed in a matter of days, as was the case in the Eighteenth Amendment. 20A Bill is a very good argument against urgent Bills. Nevertheless, the discussion that has ensued is welcome. Dr. Colvin R. De Silva1 described the system of government under the 1978 Constitution as a constitutional presidential dictatorship dressed in the raiment of a parliamentary democracy.

  • The Executive Presidency: a Left Perspective
    27 The Executive Presidency: A Left Perspective Jayampathy Wickramaratne The Sri Lankan Left spearheaded the campaign against the introduction of the executive presidency in 1978 though the opposition had been weakened by the massive victory of the United National Party (UNP) at the 1977 parliamentary elections. The UNP won an unprecedented five-sixths majority. The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), down from 75 seats to just 07, was weak and demoralised. It was the Left parties – now without representation in Parliament – that took the lead in opposing it from outside. Since then, Left parties have been at the forefront of the agitation for the abolition of the executive presidency. The purpose of this chapter is not merely to recount that opposition but to show that such opposition was based on established democratic principles. The chapter also discusses the campaign to abolish the executive presidency, and conversely, actions to strengthen it. If there is one statement that epitomises the Sri Lankan Left’s unswerving opposition to the executive presidency and its preference for the parliamentary form of government, it is the one made by Dr Colvin R. de Silva, then Minister of Constitutional Affairs, in the Constituent Assembly on 2nd July 1971: “There is undoubtedly one virtue in this system of Parliament […] and that is that the chief executive of the day in answerable directly to the representatives of the people continuously by reason of the fact that the Prime Minister can remain Prime Minister only so long as he can command the confidence of that assembly. […] We do not want either Presidents or Prime Ministers who can ride roughshod over the people and, therefore, first of all, over the people’s representatives.
