The Constitutional Council will be established within the next two months following the budget debate and members to various commissions which are now virtually defunct will also be appointed subsequently, Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratna told Daily Mirror online.

The failure to establish a Constitutional Council has resulted in several key commissions being inactive over a period of several months including the Bribery Commission and the Elections Commission.

However Prime Minister Jayaratna said that following the budget debate which commences next month and ends early July, the government will take measures to establish the Constitutional Council and appoint members to the various commissions through the Council.

Members will be appointed for the Bribery Commission, Police Commission, the Judicial Services Commission and the Elections Commissions, Premier Jayaratna told Daily Mirror online. (Daily Mirror online)

Now the elections are over, everything is theirs for at least another 6 years or more. We need to wait see the independency of the commissions that are to be set up.

The administration has been subjected to substantial criticism, over time, for the delay in reviving the Constitutional Council and paving the way for the appointing of independent commissions that are considered integral components of good governance. As responsible people, let us be happy that the government, at last, is going to do the rilght thing, though long overdue.
