The Chief Incumbents of the four Buddhist Chapters have written to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, stressing 10 matters, including the creation of economic stability and provision of relief to the people.

In their statement, the chief prelates said the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution should be passed in the parliament without delay.

They also stressed that the President should take expedite measures to convene political party leaders to appoint an honest, all-party government again.

The tenure of the all-party government should be limited to 6 months, the chief prelates emphasized, adding the tenure should be extended to 12 or 18 months only if it succeeds in stabilizing the economy and minimizing the issues faced by the public.

The Cabinet of Ministers of this all-party government should be limited to 15, and any politician convicted of corruption allegations should not be made part of it, the letter read further.

The chief prelates also called for proper coordination with international institutions and friendly countries for securing loan assistances and implementation of a proper mechanism to manage these funds.
