¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I forgot the MP’s name while speaking. There is no issue naming him: it is Hon. Prasasd Siriwardena. He identifies himself as the media spokesperson for the Leader of the Opposition. I also wish to ask whether the Leader of the Opposition condones such behaviour since he retains him as his media spokesperson.
