The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake urged the Chair not to be deterred by shouting in the Chamber and to enforce the Standing Orders. Speaking as Leader of the House, he said he has a duty to prioritize Government business, move proceedings forward, and coordinate between the Executive and the Legislature, and requested that disorder or noise not be allowed to undermine parliamentary procedure.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Do not be afraid when someone shouts. You have the Standing Orders. If Members behave far more improperly than what happened now, how will you conduct the House? As a Leader of the House, I have a responsibility to prioritize Government business and move the proceedings forward; to coordinate the Executive and the Legislature. Therefore, I am kindly requesting: we do not violate Standing Orders. Do not allow Standing Orders to be violated because of noise.
