Parliament would take up an adjournment debate on the 20th Amendment tomorrow and on Wednesday as requested by several parties, Leader of the House Lakshman Kiriella said today.

Mr. Kiriella told the Daily Mirror that the debate would be moved by the United National Party (UNP).

He said many MPs representing different parties in the House, including Dinesh Gunawardane, Tissa Vitharana, Vasudeva Nanayakkara and Rauff Hakeem had wanted a two-day adjournment debate on the 20th Amendment.

“These leaders have said such debate is important as their ideologies on the piece of legislation should be heard by the people,” Kiriella said.

However, he said Leader of Opposition Nimal Siripala De Silva and Chief Opposition Whip W. D. J. Seneviratne had objected to this debate. (Yohan Perera)

seems like 20th amendment is getting postponed more. Better dissolve now and bring it in next parliament.

Seems we are about 48 hours away from much needed and awaited dissolution of Parliament.....

why not concentrate on bringing in all the acts such as the bill on rights to information before dissolving parliament and have 20th amendment in the new parliament
