The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna said concerns over law students’ examinations warrant serious attention, while also questioning the consistency of those now seeking fairness in Parliament. He linked the issue to wider concerns in the justice sector, including judicial transfers, interventions in legal education, narcotics-related enforcement, and uneven accountability. He urged that fairness be ensured in legal education and related systems, indicating support for Minister Nalinda Jayatissa and the incoming President in addressing these matters.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees.
¶ 02 This concerns law students’ examinations and deserves serious attention. However, I have doubts when those who once urged surrounding and belittling Parliament now seek fairness here. Regardless, there are broader issues in the justice sector. Judges have been transferred; now interventions extend to legal education. Simultaneously, major narcotics hauls surface, yet accountability is uneven. While minor traffic infractions draw swift action, larger issues go unaddressed. I will face my own matters if needed; but I hope the incoming President and the Hon. Minister Nalinda Jayatissa, whom I will support, will ensure fairness in legal education and related systems.
