The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Chaminda Wijesiri raised a point of order under Standing Order 126, arguing that the House should not be misled by selective references to Standing Orders. He said Gayantha Karunathilleka had merely sought clarification on whether powers of the Police Commission were being transferred to the IGP, and accused the Government of distorting the role of the Constitutional Council without a public mandate.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. Under Standing Order 126, proposals brought by MPs can be sent there. But do not misdirect the House by just citing Standing Orders. Hon. Gayantha Karunathilleka only asked the Government to clarify whether powers of the Police Commission are being given to the IGP. You distorted the Constitutional Council too. The people did not give you a mandate to do that.
