- The Hon. U.P. Abeywickrama, Attorney-at-Law JJB
AI summary Hon. U.P. Abeywickrama supported the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Amendment) Bill and the Judicature (Amendment) Bill, linking them to the Government’s mandate to restore rule of law and reform justice institutions. He argued that past governance had allowed criminal networks and drug trafficking to penetrate state institutions, and said the Government was improving judicial infrastructure, recruitment, investigations, policing, prisons, and rehabilitation. He noted severe prison overcrowding and said Budget allocations would support modernization and rehabilitation, while further legal reforms would be presented by December. He also highlighted the “The Whole Nation Together” anti-drug programme and Public Security Committees in all 14,022 Grama Niladhari divisions as part of a community-based response to drugs.
- The Hon. Deputy Speaker procedural
- The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman SJB
AI summary Mujibur Rahuman, speaking during debate on the Judicature and dangerous drugs amendment Bills, questioned a 9 February 2026 Gazette requiring re-registration of pre-2019 SIM cards, arguing that telecom operators were already obliged under TRCSL licence conditions to retain customer identity data. He linked the issue to investigations into the killings and disappearances of Lasantha Wickrematunge, Wasim Thajudeen, Prageeth Ekneligoda, Sivaram and others, saying missing telecom data had affected those cases and asking whether the Gazette would enable operators to avoid responsibility. He urged the Government to take legal action against operators if they failed to maintain required records, rather than create a process that could undermine prosecutions, and called on the President to honour campaign promises on these cases.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. (Mrs.) M.A.C.S. Chathuri Gangani JJB
AI summary Hon. (Mrs.) M.A.C.S. Chathuri Gangani supported amendments to the Judicature Act and the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance to criminalize narcotics offences on the high seas and vest jurisdiction over such offences in Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court. She cited UNODC findings and national arrest and prison statistics to argue that Sri Lanka’s maritime position has made it vulnerable to drug trafficking, with youth and women increasingly affected. She referred to the “The Whole Nation Together – Let’s Get Out” national anti-drug operation launched in October 2025, noting seizures, arrests with INTERPOL support, and rehabilitation efforts as part of a coordinated response.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. Eranga Weeraratne - Deputy Minister of Digital Economy JJB
AI summary Deputy Minister Eranga Weeraratne said the SIM card re-registration regulations address weaknesses in the 2019 framework and are intended to ensure accurate subscriber records for law enforcement purposes. He stated that 897,802 individual SIMs and 245,811 corporate SIMs currently lack sufficient identity data, creating risks for fraud and other crimes. He said affected users must update their details with telecom operators within about two months, after which non-compliant SIMs will be deactivated, while properly registered users will not be affected.
- The Hon. Jeevan Thondaman UNP
AI summary Jeevan Thondaman said his party supported the Budget on the basis of the Government’s promise of a Rs. 1,750 daily wage for estate workers and a Rs. 5 billion allocation, but demanded transparency over the agreement underpinning the wage payment. He stated that the document was an MoU, not a collective agreement, and tabled it, objecting in particular to Clause 4.1, which makes gratuity conditional on completing 180 days of work. He argued that plantation companies could use this condition to deny registration and statutory benefits such as EPF, ETF, gratuity and maternity or death benefits, and urged the Government to publish the MoU and reject provisions that undermine workers’ protections.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. Jeevan Thondaman UNP
AI summary Hon. Jeevan Thondaman referred to wage negotiations through the Wages Board, stating that an earlier request for a Rs. 1,700 basic wage had been rejected in favour of Rs. 1,550, contributing to the current dispute. He cautioned against combining trade union activity with politics for political advantage, thanked the President for agreeing to raise the basic wage to Rs. 1,700, and requested continued oversight of wage proposals, including earlier figures of Rs. 2,138 and Rs. 1,750.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. Bhagya Sri Herath, Attorney-at-Law JJB
AI summary Bhagya Sri Herath said the Opposition supports the amendments to the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance and the Judicature Act, arguing they will strengthen action against narcotics trafficking, including interdiction and prosecution beyond Sri Lankan territory and on the high seas. He linked the need for reform to past political protection of drug networks and said police action was previously constrained by political pressure, while maintaining that the current administration would not allow corruption or crime. He also clarified that DNA testing can be sought in maintenance cases where paternity is denied, and said drug policy must combine enforcement against traffickers with rehabilitation, sports, and public-space programmes to address addiction and reduce demand.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. G.G. Ponnambalam ACTC
AI summary Hon. G.G. Ponnambalam raised concerns over the Tissa Rajamaha Viharaya at Thayiddi, alleging it was built illegally on privately owned Tamil land through militarized involvement, and criticized government discussions held without the affected landowners. He also objected to alleged “shadow minister” arrangements involving NPP MPs in Northern Provincial Council functions while provincial elections remain suspended, arguing that all Northern MPs should be invited to such official meetings. He further urged intervention regarding PTA detainee Nimalan, who he said faces threats when held in outstation prisons after court appearances, and referred to another PTA-related case involving Morris where he alleged reliance on an illegally obtained confession.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. (Dr.) Nihal Abeysinghe JJB
AI summary Dr. Nihal Abeysinghe supported the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Bill and the Judicature (Amendment) Bill as part of the Government’s “Rata Ma Ekata – Iwath Wenu” anti-narcotics programme and the NPP policy objective of a drug-free country. He said the amendments would criminalize drug manufacture, possession and trafficking on the high seas and give the High Court jurisdiction over such offences, particularly to disrupt transfers from mother ships to smaller vessels. He linked the measures to wider proposals on surveillance, rehabilitation, education, community monitoring, asset seizure and international cooperation, citing drug flows through the Indian Ocean and Sri Lanka’s use as a transit and redistribution point.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC SJB
AI summary Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper supported the Bill but argued that Sri Lanka must fully implement hydrographic control and charting to secure maritime safety and State revenue. He said the National Hydrographic Act, No. 7 of 2024, created the necessary offices, but the country still lacks deep-water charting equipment costing about USD 0.7 million. He alleged that past outsourcing through NARA allowed foreign private companies to collect navigation-related fees that should have gone to the Treasury, and urged the Government to fund the equipment immediately to enable collection of an estimated USD 51 million annually from vessels entering Sri Lankan waters.
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. Sudath Balagalla JJB
AI summary Hon. Sudath Balagalla argued that narcotics trafficking had expanded under past political patronage and said the Government would further amend laws if needed to eradicate drugs, while dismantling related criminal networks and expanding rehabilitation for affected youth. He stated that since the Government took office, 51 tons of heroin and other narcotics had been seized, attributing this to the removal of political protection. He also outlined relief and reconstruction measures in Badulla District following the “Ditva” cyclone, including cash assistance to families and students, livestock compensation, industry support, concessional credit, grants, and rebuilding fully damaged houses. He urged the Opposition to offer constructive, evidence-based criticism rather than “mudslinging.”
- The Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees procedural
- The Hon. (Prof.) A.H.M.H. Abayarathna JJB
AI summary Hon. (Prof.) A.H.M.H. Abayarathna moved that Hon. M.K.M. Aslam take the Chair. The motion was agreed to, after which the Deputy Chairperson of Committees left the Chair and Hon. M.K.M. Aslam presided.
Parliamentary Procedure Full speech → - The Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen SJB
AI summary Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen raised concerns over a fatal shooting of two youths from Mannar in Colombo, requesting urgent action to prevent such killings, ensure medical treatment for the survivor, and compensate the affected family. He asked the Attorney General’s Department to expedite long-pending cases against officials linked to a bus transport case in which he said he had already been acquitted. He also alleged weaknesses in anti-narcotics enforcement, including inadequate action against implicated officers and political links to smugglers, and called for investigations. Additionally, he urged removal of restrictions on importing Qur’ans and Islamic books, reopening of the Mahar Mosque during Ramadan, and reopening or providing an alternative to the Mannar–Puttalam road, warning of protests if the issue remains unresolved.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen SJB
AI summary Rishad Bathiudeen acknowledged the Government’s anti-drug efforts and the President’s stated firmness, but questioned whether ministers were acting consistently and without racial bias. He cited funds allocated under the previous government for Muslim refugee returnees in Jaffna—Rs. 80 million for resettlement and Rs. 40 million for road development—which he said were returned and not restored despite assurances. He urged the Government to stop discriminatory actions affecting returnee communities.
- The Hon. Wasantha Piyathissa - Deputy Minister of Rural Development, Social Security and Community Empowerment JJB
AI summary The Deputy Minister supported the amendments to the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance and the Judicature Act, arguing that drug trafficking and dependence had expanded through political protection, weakened rule of law, and organized networks. He cited increased arrests and raids in 2025 compared with 2019, and said the Government is pursuing a whole-of-nation anti-drug effort through district and local operations councils involving security forces, police, officials, and political authorities. He linked the drug problem to poverty and said programmes such as Aswesuma, the “Praja Shakthi” national mission, Clean Sri Lanka, digitization, and “Rata Ma Ekata” are intended to support poverty eradication, rehabilitation, and institutional reform.
- The Hon. K. Sujith Sanjaya Perera SJB
AI summary Welcoming the Judicature (Amendment) Bill, the member said stronger legal provisions are needed because narcotics enter Sri Lanka largely through the high seas, while noting that maritime seizures occurred under previous governments as well. He urged the Government to incorporate earlier proposals on inter-agency enforcement at sea and remove implementation obstacles. He also highlighted severe prison overcrowding linked to remand prisoners in drug-related cases, calling for faster Attorney General’s advice and Government Analyst reports to expedite prosecutions or releases. He further requested consideration of amendments to extend sentence-related relief to prisoners convicted before previous reforms, including those with pending appeals, as a measure to reduce congestion.
- The Hon. Major General (Rtd.) Aruna Jayasekera - Deputy Minister of Defence JJB
AI summary Deputy Minister Aruna Jayasekera supported amendments to the Judicature Act and the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance to address drug trafficking on the high seas, citing legal gaps that hinder prosecution when narcotics are transported via multi-day fishing trawlers and small craft. He rejected allegations against NPP MPs in Puttalam and said credible information would be acted upon, while outlining Navy and Police Narcotics Bureau operations, international cooperation, and seizures from 2019 to 2025. He noted challenges such as vessels operating under powers of attorney, switched-off Vessel Monitoring Systems, and offenders being released due to inadequate legal tools, and said new procedures would be introduced by March to expedite certified sampling and destruction of seized drugs.
- The Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha SJB
AI summary Welcoming the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Bill under “Clean Sri Lanka,” Nalin Bandara Jayamaha urged the Government to show measurable results by the following year. On the Judicature (Amendment) Bill, he highlighted prison overcrowding and criticized the absence of customary Christmas inmate releases as a sign of administrative inefficiency. He also warned of a serious gas supply risk, arguing that the selected supplier lacks sufficient logistics and shipping capacity despite only a small price advantage, and urged the Government to ensure stable supply, assess technical capacity, and consider bringing Litro Gas Lanka fully under state operation.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha SJB
AI summary Nalin Bandara Jayamaha argued that media reporting on gas shortages and queues should not be treated as the problem, and said the priority should be identifying and resolving the underlying issue. He tabled a letter from the Association of Sri Lankan Divisional Secretaries and Assistant Divisional Secretaries to Minister Lal Kantha alleging undue political influence over land duties by Rukmal Jayawira, a Coordinating Secretary to the State Minister for Lands and Highways, and requested that the matter be investigated.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Susantha Dodawatta, Attorney-at-Law JJB
AI summary The Hon. Susantha Dodawatta supported the Judicature Act and Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance amendments, saying they would strengthen Sri Lanka’s legal authority to interdict narcotics production and trafficking in its maritime zones and adjacent high seas. He argued that drug trafficking is a complex transnational problem linked to global trade routes, organized crime, political influence and weakened investigative institutions, and cannot be solved by Sri Lanka in isolation. He also called for scientific rehabilitation, psychological counselling, public awareness, stricter enforcement, and independent investigative bodies while noting that some countries are examining decriminalization as part of wider drug policy.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. M.S. Abthul Wazeeth SLMC

He also called for a Youth Vocational Training Centre and equipment support for local youth training facilities, noting the large number of youth and sports clubs in the area. He requested that the Government purchase wet paddy at a guaranteed price due to heavy rains preventing farmers from drying their harvest, and asked for appointments for candidates who passed the Eastern Provincial graduate teacher recruitment examination but remain unappointed due to cited vacancy issues.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. M.S. Abthul Wazeeth SLMC
AI summary M.S. Abthul Wazeeth stated that only three of the seven roads approved under the i-Road Project in Pottuvil are currently being worked on.

Parliamentary Procedure Full speech → - The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Faiszer Musthapha, PC NDF
AI summary Faiszer Musthapha supported amendments extending jurisdiction over drug trafficking by ships and stateless vessels, arguing that drug cartels operating from the high seas must be brought within Sri Lankan law. He urged the Justice Minister to establish a legal “decoy” mechanism enabling police and security forces to engage undercover with major traffickers, and called for stronger protection for lawyers, judges, and witnesses, including possible relocation measures in drug cases. He also raised concerns about overcrowding, sanitation, nutrition, and facilities for remand prisoners, and noted that drug operations continue from prisons due to ineffective communication-blocking measures.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Nishantha Perera JJB
AI summary Hon. Nishantha Perera supported the Judicature (Amendment) Bill and the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs (Amendment) Bill, arguing that drug trafficking has deeply affected Sri Lankan society and has been linked to politics and criminal networks. He said the National People’s Power Government had a mandate to address the drug menace alongside broader economic, political, and social reforms, and cited the “Break Free” national operation as part of a plan to eradicate drugs through legal, political, cultural, and social measures. He thanked the Minister of Justice for introducing the amendments and said the Government would act decisively, particularly against drugs entering the country by sea.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Gnanamuththu Srineshan ITAK

He cited recent large-scale seizures of heroin, methamphetamine, cannabis, cocaine and pills, noting that most narcotics enter Sri Lanka by sea rather than being produced locally. He said the amendments would give the Supreme Court jurisdiction over such offences, enabling arrests, transfer of suspects to Sri Lanka and prosecution, in support of the Government’s “Country Together” anti-drug programme and its focus on prevention, rehabilitation and community-level action.
- The Hon. Presiding Member procedural
- The Hon. Sarath Kumara, Attorney-at-Law JJB

Sarath Kumara supported the amendments to the Poisons, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Ordinance and the Judicature Act, describing drug trafficking and abuse as a national crisis affecting many sectors of society and a large proportion of the prison population, especially youth. He argued that past political and official protection enabled drug networks, and cited Government enforcement data from 2025 and the “Country Together” operation, including raids, arrests, seizures, and persons identified for rehabilitation.
