AGs submission confirms that Government was aware that the Bill contained disputable provisions.

So a step back only. The petitioners must insist on these certain amendments made known beforehand so we know if there is skullduggery at Committee stage or speaker signs a wrong bill as happened earlier.

The petitioners should not accept the assurances of the AG. They must call for a totally new Bill containing the amendments, study them and then proceed. There could be many a slip between the cup and the lip.

Then the Petitioners should have asked why in heavens name they made a gazette notification in the first instance.

Good if the SC orders that the proposed Amendments are made before submission to Court.

President - proposes / Wijeyadasa - composes / Opposition - opposes / Courts - exposes / AG - compromises.

This AG has become a joker. Why can’t he tell in advance rather than when the matter is dealt at the courts
