The Hon. Sajith Premadasa
Hon. Sajith Premadasa tabled several questions previously raised by the Opposition under Standing Order 27(2), stating that the procedure followed was proper and consistent with past practice. He argued that the substantive issue was whether policy was protecting a “diesel mafia” or prioritizing renewable energy, particularly solar, and called for an answer on that matter.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, please give me a moment to clarify. Previously, under SO 27(2), several questions were asked by the Opposition. I am tabling them now.
¶ 02 • Tabled. • Placed in the Library.
¶ 03 I will not name those who asked them. The procedure then and now is the same. I have done no wrong in the way I raised my questions. The main issue is whether we are protecting a diesel mafia or prioritizing renewables such as solar. We need an answer.
