The Hon. Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe, Attorney-at-Law
Citing Standing Order No. 91(h), Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe argued that Members must not impute improper motives or refer to the personal affairs of other Members. He stated that when a Member’s name is mentioned, that Member has the right to raise a point of order under the Standing Orders, regardless of differing interpretations of any innuendo.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I only refer to Standing Order No. 91(h): “No Member shall make any imputation of improper motives against another Member, or make reference to personal affairs of another Member;” No one can decide what innuendo was made. Once a name is mentioned, that Member has the right to raise a point of order under Standing Orders. That is all.
