The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa
The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa argued that while the Leader of the Opposition is granted speaking priority due to his office, that privilege should not be misused for matters that could be submitted in writing. He criticized requests such as cancelling exams, recruiting teachers without exams, and opposing education reforms as issues better addressed through formal written submissions rather than raised on the floor.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, whenever the Opposition Leader rises, he is given the floor due to his office, but that should not be misused. Some matters need not be said here; they can be submitted in writing. He asks for no exams, recruit teachers without exams; no education reforms—such things can be pushed in letters?
