Speech history
103 speeches- 22 January 2025 AI summary Hon. Chanaka Madugoda expressed support for the Clean Sri Lanka programme, arguing that past Governments had also contributed to public cleanliness and urban improvement, citing Colombo’s transformation under former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa and measures against public smoking, posters and betel stains. He urged the Government to build consensus, reduce blame over past administrations, and use Parliament itself as an example of “clean” conduct, including reconsidering parliamentary privilege for statements made without legal consequence. He said the Opposition was ready to contribute proposals, but criticized the Government for allegedly targeting former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and warned against allowing such actions to create wider public resentment.

- 18 December 2024 AI summary Welcoming the proposed Rs. 6,000 grant for children from low-income families to buy educational materials, Chanaka Madugoda argued that the debate should also recognize past education-related welfare measures such as school meals, uniforms and the “Suraksha” insurance scheme. He urged the Government to revise the criteria for identifying low-income households so that children are not excluded solely because a parent is a public servant, and to assess actual family circumstances, including the number of school-going children. He further said current education costs, including tuition for Advanced Level students, far exceed Rs. 6,000 and called for higher support in line with the Government’s previous commitments on education funding.

- 6 December 2024 AI summary Hon. Chanaka Madugoda thanked voters in the Galle District and acknowledged former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and senior politicians who supported his political career. In the Vote on Account debate, he challenged references to a “76-year curse” by citing events such as the 1971 and 1988-89 insurrections, Black July, the war, the tsunami, Easter attacks, COVID-19, and trade union actions as factors that set the country back. He wished the new government well but urged ministers who previously led protests in sectors such as fisheries, education, health, and agriculture to deliver on their promises, while cautioning against the resurgence of terrorism and the corrupting effects of power.
