The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Hon. Bimal Rathnayake moved to refer Hon. Eranga Gunasekara’s privilege complaint of 08 April 2025 to the Committee on Ethics and Privileges under Standing Order 118, which was agreed to. He then noted the scheduled Votes of Condolence and urged the House to start such motions punctually on Fridays, or shorten earlier business, because family members of the deceased often wait for long periods.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I move:
¶ 02 “That the matter raised by Hon. Member Eranga Gunasekara on 08 April 2025 alleging a breach of his privileges be referred to the Committee on Ethics and Privileges under Standing Order 118.”
¶ 03 Question put, and agreed to.
¶ 04 Then we will move on to the Votes of Condolence on the late Hon. Rajavarothiam Sampanthan, the late Hon. A. Pilapitiya, the late Hon. W.B. Ekanayake, the late Hon. Lucky Jayawardana and the late Hon. (Mrs.) Malani Fonseka.
¶ 05 Before moving the Motions, I wish to take 30 seconds. These Motions are usually taken on Fridays from 11.00 or 11.30 a.m. Family members wait here for hours if we start late. If we cannot begin on time, we should reduce earlier items. Otherwise, we must collectively ensure punctuality.
