The government’s 100-day plan is nearing its halfway mark. The record so far is somewhat mixed. The big concern is whether all the constitutional and legislative changes proposed in the plan can be implemented within the remaining 55 days and certainly before the meaningless April 23 deadline for dissolving parliament. More than anybody else, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is insistent on sticking to the dissolution deadline with the expectation of forming an all-party national government after the elections in June.
