The Hon. Dilith Jayaweera
Dilith Jayaweera responded to being named over a “Derana” programme, stating it was an interview with senior Meteorological Department officials and that any dispute over their statements should be addressed to them. He also asked for clarification on whether a Government MP had sat in the Kandy District Secretary’s chair, and urged Members not to target media owners during a national tragedy.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I was named and asked to clarify. The “Derana” programme cited was an interview with senior Met Department officials; if the Hon. Member contests that, she should take it up with those who made the statements, not with me.
¶ 02 Regarding Kandy, please clarify whether a Government MP sat in the District Secretary’s chair. We should act responsibly and not target media owners during a national tragedy.
