The Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara - Minister of Justice and National Integration
The Minister raised a Point of Order to clarify that he had served as a Government Attorney in the Attorney General’s Department and did not wish to be addressed as “Attorney-at-Law” as a personal title. He said his challenge was limited to another Member’s public claims about qualifications and asked that any claimed qualification be presented to the House.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Madam, I rise to a Point of Order.
¶ 02 I served four years as a Government Attorney in the Attorney General’s Department. I did not claim the title of “Attorney-at-Law” as a personal styling here; do not address me as such. I challenged only the Hon. Member’s public assertions; if he claims a qualification, he should present it to this House. Beyond that, I have no dispute.
