The Speaker should make a firm decision whether or not the legislature should accept the stay order issued by the Supreme Court against the Constitutional Council, Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe told Parliament today.
"The stay order issued against the Constitutional Council and the President has become an issue because the legislature is weak," the Minister said.
"The Speaker should follow his predecessor Anura Bandaranaike who gave a historic ruling where he said legislature is supreme than the judiciary," he added.
