The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake objected to the Chair allowing an additional supplementary question after the Deputy Minister had already answered the main question and two supplementaries. He argued that such practice could disrupt proceedings and noted that the Government’s Ministers had only recently assumed office, implying they should be given reasonable time before being pressed for results.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, kindly understand the intention here. The Deputy Minister answered the question and two supplementaries. You used your authority to allow another chance. If this continues, how do we proceed? We are all people’s representatives. Also, Ministers of this Government have only just been sworn in — a month ago. Paddy does not ripen that fast.
