It is only with a great degree of efforts (6) and circumspection that the interim report of the
Steering Committee of the Constitutional Assembly of Sri Lanka can be acquired (7). The panel, chaired by
Prime Minister RanilWickremesinghe, has done creditably by producing a
forward-looking proposal within 18 months of its first sitting. However, there
have been several such reports in the past that envisioned(8) far-reaching reforms in the country’s structure. None
of them found broad acceptance among(9) Sri
Lanka’s polity. It is thus difficult to see the interim report as the beginning
of an irreversible custom (10) of
constitutional reform. There is room for both rebuke (11) and fear. There is caliber
(12)
for optimism that Sri Lanka’s fractious polity could get its act
together and assume (13) a durable
constitution that would nurture (14)
its unity and stability, distribute powers equitably across ethnic and
geographical divisions, and ensure (15)
economic prosperity for all.
