Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake stated that he had not directly attacked the judiciary, but argued that alleged wrongdoing affecting justice must be raised where it occurs. He said Parliament is the proper forum to raise such concerns to prevent injustice, after which the Deputy Chairperson of Committees indicated the matter would be referred to the Speaker.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, in response, I did not directly attack the judiciary. What is happening is known to judges themselves; we must speak of wrongs where they occur, otherwise people suffer injustice. Parliament is the only place to raise such matters.
¶ 02 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees: These matters will be brought to the attention of the Hon. Speaker.
