The Joint Business Chambers in a statement said yesterday that it views with serious concern the ongoing developments with respect to the impeachment motion brought against the Chief Justice and the possibility that it may lead to a grave constitutional crisis.

“Such a constitutional crisis will not be in the best interest of the country’s economic and business environment. It is likely to adversely affect the country’s development process whilst significantly hindering the benefits from the peace dividend,” the chambers said.

“We call upon all concerned to act with restraint and to respect and abide by the Constitution of the country and hope that the Government will take the necessary steps to resolve the current impasse in the best interest of our nation,” the statement added.

The Joint Business Chambers consist of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC), the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL), the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL), the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE), the Chamber Of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE), the Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF), and the Ceylon National Chamber of Industries (CNCI).
