Should change Executive Presidency - Sajith

Opposition leader - Sajith Premadasa said that the time has come to change the Executive Presidency.

Speaking in Parliament today (05), he said that it is the view of the public that should be represented in Parliament and the current view is that the entire government should resign, starting from the President.

Now is the time to change the Executive Presidency. Let us take this opportunity ... It is very clear that we need to change this... Not the 20A but the executive presidency itself.. However in doing so, it would do no good to appoint a PM who functions in an arbitrary manner... there should be checks and balances ... A dictatorship that can occur through an executive president can also occur through an executive prime minister ... It is the view of the public that we should be representing here in parliament, he said.
