The government has decided not to have any formal discussion on the Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill until the Supreme Court determines its constitutionality, informed sources said.

According to the sources, Education Minister G.L. Peiris informed the Cabinet yesterday (19) that the Attorney General had advised in this regard.

The opposition parties and some civil society groups have moved court against the bill which is now before Parliament. The court has already started hearing the case. (Kelum Bandara)

    Don't worry. The SC will determine that the Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill is constitutional. Until the obvious determination is made, all of you can take a small break and enjoy a cup of tea.
