The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a point of order under Standing Order 91(1), arguing that a Member deviating from the rules may be called to order by the Speaker. He alleged that Minister Samarasinghe had improperly mentioned “Sujeewa Senasinghe” at the start of his speech and played an audio recording to support the claim, while objecting to the handling of his intervention.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. With respect, I wish to draw your attention to a Standing Order. I will read it; please do not interrupt in the middle. Standing Order No. 91.(1) states, I quote: “(1) Any Member deviating from the rules may be immediately called to order by the Speaker;” Hon. Speaker, “deviating from the rules.” The Hon. Minister Samarasinghe, at the very start of his speech, mentioned the name “Sujeewa Senasinghe.” Please listen to this audio clip.
¶ 02 (At this stage, an audio recording was played.)
¶ 03 Hon. Speaker, when we present this, saying I will be thrown out— [Interruption]
