The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake objected to the procedure for supplementary questions, stating that only the Member entitled to ask them may do so unless consent is given to another Member. He cited a recent example involving the Member for Gampaha and Faiszer Musthapha and urged Members to follow the Standing Orders to avoid wasting parliamentary time.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, I am truly saddened. He is a senior Member. Only the relevant Member can ask supplementary questions; there has never been any other method. If so, the relevant Member should give consent. In fact, the Hon. Member for Gampaha behind you gave his second supplementary to Hon. Faiszer Musthapha to ask. That is the method. Please read the Standing Orders and do not waste the time of this House.
