The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa
Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa stated that the Prime Minister would respond, while noting that the Government had been in office for only one year. He contrasted this with the previous inability to hold Provincial Council elections for nearly three years and argued that the question raised matters including courts, judicial transfers, the Provincial Council system, and the Executive Presidency. He requested clarification to the Leader of the Opposition on the intended scope of Standing Order 27(2).
