The Hon. Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe, Attorney-at-Law
Arjuna Sujeewa Senasinghe raised a point of order to correct the record regarding a salary document he tabled in a previous speech. He clarified that it was not from Parliament’s Research Division as he had stated, but from the Opposition Research Unit, and noted that it covered salary figures for 2026 and 2027. He said he had given the document to Deputy Minister Mahinda Jayasinghe for review and response.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. Yesterday, in my speech, when tabling a document on salaries, I said it was from Parliament’s Research Division. Government benches and others have since checked and say it came from there. In fact, I received it from the Opposition Research Unit, compiled by a very learned lady. The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe, Deputy Minister, spoke of salaries in late 2027; my document refers to 2026, and also has 2027. It did not come from Parliament’s Research Division. Please correct the record. I handed the document to Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe yesterday for his study and response.
