The Hon. Wasantha Samarasinghe
Wasantha Samarasinghe said the Opposition had wasted parliamentary time during the morning despite time being allocated to them. He referred to two reports mentioned by Gayantha Karunathilaka and alleged that the SLPP and SJB were acting together, while questioning why Ravi Karunanayake was not given time the previous day, possibly due to a scheduled question under Standing Order 27(2).
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will conclude, Hon. Speaker.
¶ 02 Hon. Gayantha just mentioned the two reports. It was the Opposition that wasted the morning. Now SLPP and SJB are together. I do not know why Hon. Ravi Karunanayake was not given time yesterday—perhaps because he had a 27(2) Question today.
¶ 03 We devoted time for you, but it was wasted. The debate went on till 5.40 p.m., yet what happened?
