AI summary Hon. Ravi Karunanayake sought leave to make a Personal Explanation under Standing Order No. 27(8), contesting statements made in the House on 26 November 2025 regarding the 2015 Treasury Bond issue. He argued that references to the Presidential Commission of Inquiry wrongly implied he had ministerial responsibility for the Central Bank, stating that gazette notifications under Article 44(1), Cabinet records and administrative circulars assigned that responsibility to then Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, while commercial banks were under Hon. Kabir Hashim. He requested rectification of what he described as a factual error that damaged his reputation and could prejudice ongoing court proceedings.
