Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Hon. Mujibur Rahuman criticized President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s stated pledge to end family politics, alleging that political relationships and family ties are still reflected in parliamentary representation. He used examples such as spouses, parents and children, and personal relationships to question whether the promise of ending nepotism has been upheld.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Anura Kumara Dissanayake said he would end family politics. That is what he spoke about. But what is happening now? Anura Kumara has brought wives and husbands to Parliament; fathers and sons to Parliament; and likewise, girlfriends and boyfriends to Parliament. Only boyfriends, boyfriends were not brought—so now we have to check whether there are boyfriends, boyfriends here. Mr. Deputy Speaker is smiling. I know this is not his subject; I know that very well. He is laughing.
