The preliminary plan for the new draft constitution will be handed over to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa next month, Justice Minister Ali Sabry said.
The committee appointed to draft the constitution under the chairmanship of President’s Counsel Romesh de Silva will complete its work in a few days, he said.
He said the President would then study the plan, discuss it and present it to the cabinet.
The Minister of Justice said that many previous attempts to draft the Constitution had failed, adding that Prof. GL Peiris, KN Chosky and former Prime Minister were among those who got involved in the task.
He added that as there was a consensus on many issues, only ten percent of the debate should take place in Parliament.
