The Hon. Ajith P. Perera
Ajith P. Perera raised a point of order challenging the Chair’s rejection of a No-Confidence Motion. He argued that Standing Order 76(1) applied to the Chair as well as Members, and that issuing a further rejection after a detailed ruling on 10 September violated that Standing Order. He requested that the Chair withdraw the latest order, claiming there was no authority to issue it.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order. Standing Order 76(1) applies to Members as well as to you. You gave a ruling on the 10th of this month rejecting the No-Confidence Motion with a detailed order. We said it lacked substance, like that of a child. Today you reject it again. This violates Standing Order 76(1). I request that you withdraw today’s order; you have no power to issue it.
