Political parties to study media ethics bill
Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said today that although the government all political parties have been provided a draft of the ‘media ethics’ bill in order to study it, prior to it being presented to parliament.
Speaking to Daily Mirror Online Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said that the bill was stagnated at the consultative committee stage for a long period of time.
“This is nothing new; we had discussed this with civil servants, senior journalists and other respected individuals and formulated a draft which was at the consultative committee stage without taking off. It was hurried due to various factors, and now we are awaiting responses from all the political parties” he said.
He further said that the bill would incorporate suggestions and proposals from all political parties prior to presenting it.
“It will be presented upon consensus” he said. ( Hafeel Farisz)
