The Hon. Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana
Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana responded to personal remarks allegedly made against him in his absence, including a claim that he was drinking in the parliamentary canteen. He denied misusing parliamentary facilities or privileges, stating that he and his colleagues do not consume food or drink at Parliament’s expense, take official housing, or spend time idly in the canteen.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, in my absence he kept attacking me by name. He even said I was drinking in the canteen. Let me be clear: unlike them, we never eat or drink at Parliament’s expense, we do not take houses or privileges. We do not while away time in the canteen.
