The Hon. (Ms.) Lakmali Hemachandra, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Lakmali Hemachandra stated that Parliament has appointed a Special Committee to investigate Opposition allegations concerning the 323 containers. She said Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, as a member of that Committee, should raise and pursue the matter through its proceedings rather than make insinuations in the Chamber, and should be bound by the Committee’s decisions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Presiding Member.
¶ 02 Since the 323-container matter is being discussed here, let me state first: a Special Committee appointed by Parliament is investigating the Opposition’s allegations regarding the 323 containers. Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, who spoke before me, is a member of that very Committee established to inquire into the containers. Having requested and obtained that Committee, his duty is to participate and do the work there, not to come here and make insinuations. You are bound by that Committee’s decisions. Understand that.
