21A will not abolish Executive Presidency -Frontline Socialist Party

The Frontline Socialist Party charges that the draft 21st Amendment to the Constitution will not abolish the Executive Presidency.

Education Secretary Pubudu Jagoda speaking during a media briefing yesterday said requests for ‘Gota to go home’ will not be fulfilled as a result.

He said the 21st Amendment is a mere effort to secure power for those already in power, and is a deal between each other that will undermine the power of the people.

Jagoda said the people are calling for the individual they elected to power, to be sent home without having to wait for five years.

He charged that people have no faith in Parliament, and the political and party system claiming the people believe that there is no true public representation in these bodies.
