The Hon. Mujibur Rahman
Mujibur Rahman said allegations that a former Colombo District candidate insulted a child should be determined through investigations, noting that police protection had reportedly been provided because of those allegations. He argued that institutional responses to such incidents were too slow, citing a transfer made only after six months, and urged immediate action and broader “system change” while supporting Chaminda Wijesiri’s Motion.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson, whether he is involved or not will be known through investigations. At present the parents have alleged he insulted the child indirectly or directly. The police protection given to him is also due to that allegation. Otherwise why give protection? He is also a former Colombo District candidate who polled around 35,000 preferences. Let investigations proceed. My central argument is system change. You too spoke of stopping such incidents. But your internal processes are very slow. After six months, only now a transfer. I draw your attention to act immediately. While supporting the Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri’s Motion, I urge swift, active measures. Thank you.
¶ 02 Question proposed.
