The Hon. Rohana Bandara
Hon. Rohana Bandara raised a point of order under Standing Order 29(1), referring to a written complaint about an alleged breach of his privileges and security concerns. He said the Inspector General of Police had first indicated, based on North Central Province intelligence, that security should be provided subject to Cabinet approval, but later informed him that security could not be provided. He requested that Parliament take the necessary steps on his privilege matter and convene the relevant meeting.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order.
¶ 02 Under Standing Order 29(1), I make a request regarding my privilege. I have made a written request concerning a breach of my privileges and my security. Parliament has not yet convened the Committee or afforded me an opportunity. The Inspector General of Police has sent me a letter stating that, according to intelligence of the North Central Province, security should be provided to me and that action could be taken upon Cabinet approval. After I raised this in Parliament, I received another letter stating that security cannot be provided. These two positions are contradictory. I request that necessary steps be taken on my privilege matter and that a meeting be convened accordingly.
