The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Hon. Bimal Rathnayake raised a point of Order referring to Standing Order 92(1)(a), which requires Members to enter the Chamber with decorum and in an orderly manner. He argued that the matter cited did not involve a procedural issue, as it related only to a statement made by a Minister, and asked the Member to verify the citation against the Hansard.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order. Under “Rules for Members not Speaking,” Standing Order 92(1)(a) states that during a debate any Member shall enter the Chamber with decorum and in an orderly manner. In Sinhala it reads similarly. This concerns procedure; there was no procedural issue here—an Hon. Minister made a statement. Therefore, Hon. Member, please check what you cited against the Hansard. Even if it seems minor, it is good for learning.
