1. 1 Opening Speaker's Ruling on Privilege Matter (7 October 2025) 1 speeches ▾
   • Mr. Speaker - The Hon. (Dr.) Jagath Wickramaratne

     AI summary The Speaker ruled on a privilege matter raised by Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara regarding an allegation that the Leader of the House misled the Constitutional Council during the nomination process for the Director General of CIABOC. He held that the Constitutional Council is an independent constitutional body under Article 41A, not a Committee of Parliament, and therefore Section 4 of Schedule A to the Parliament (Powers and Privileges) Act does not apply to its proceedings. He further noted that challenges to Constitutional Council decisions must proceed through the Supreme Court under Article 126, and ruled that the matter should not be referred to the Committee on Parliamentary Privileges.
