The Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva
Raising a point of order, Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva objected to the Deputy Minister’s statement that the Government “may” provide information on the debt restructuring agreement. He said that, following an international announcement that Sri Lanka had agreed to the restructuring and that a new debt exchange would take place on 20 December, the Government must inform Parliament of the terms agreed with bondholders.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, point of order: The Deputy Minister said they “may” provide information. But this morning a worldwide announcement was made that the Government of Sri Lanka has agreed to the debt restructuring and the new debt exchange will happen on 20 December. It should not be “may” but “shall”—the Government shall inform this House what it agreed with bondholders.
