The Hon. Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. Ramanathan Archchuna raised a point of order under Standing Order 118(3), noting that complaints to the Ethics and Privileges Committee should be forwarded to the Speaker with recommendations within two weeks. He said a matter he referred regarding Sudatta a year earlier had not progressed, alleging that even a statement had not been recorded, and asked for an explanation given claims that Sudatta was abroad while appearing publicly with political leaders under police protection.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order under Standing Order 118(3). It states: “Such a complaint that is submitted to the Committee should be forwarded to the Speaker with recommendations of the Committee, within two weeks from the date of receipt.” I referred a matter regarding Sudatta to the Ethics and Privileges Committee a year ago; yet even his statement has not been recorded. He replies that he is out of the country while appearing publicly with political leaders and has police protection. Please provide an answer.
