Speaker receives Supreme Court determination on PSTA Bill

Daily Mirror reports that Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne informed Parliament that the Supreme Court had identified a conflict between two parts of the Sri Lanka Cricket Bill and Article 12(1) of the Constitution. Newswire reports that the court’s determination was delivered to the Speaker and relayed to Parliament during its session on the 13th.

Newswire reports that the court considered amendments to those provisions sufficient to remove the constitutional conflict, after which the Bill could be approved by a simple majority in Parliament. Newswire also reports that the court found no constitutional inconsistency in the Bill’s remaining provisions.

Newswire reports that Sri Lanka Cricket welcomed the decision, describing it as a significant point in efforts to reform the organisation’s governance and administration. Newswire says the cricket body expressed confidence that the determination would support further changes.
