Constitutional Amendment Opposition

2 posts 2 threadsAug 31, 10:00 PM 0 1 1

Professional bodies and trade unions are opposing the proposed 22nd Amendment to Sri Lanka's constitution. The debate involves discussions about judicial reform and the role of trade unions in constitutional matters.

Deputy Minister: "Trade unions shouldn't comment on constitutional amendments." Also Deputy Minister: "Just hire more judges, problem solved!" — buddy, that's like telling a chef not to critique the kitchen while simultaneously suggesting the solution is buying more knives.
