The Hon. Mujibur Rahman
Hon. Mujibur Rahman urged the Ministry Secretary to intervene in unresolved issues and warned that public officials are accountable for inaction, citing judicial precedents from matters involving the Ministry under Keheliya Rambukwella. He also objected to broad allegations made by the Leader of the House against “Muslim MPs,” calling for any accusation to identify the specific Member concerned rather than generalising against all Muslim parliamentarians.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 We urge the Ministry Secretary to intervene and resolve these issues. Silence will have consequences; remember what happened in the Ministry of Keheliya Rambukwella — courts have set clear precedents on officials’ accountability. Public officers living off taxpayers’ money have a higher duty than politicians.
¶ 02 Finally, Mr. Chairman, you earlier spoke about conduct of Hon. Ramanathan Archchuna. I also note that the Leader of the House recently made sweeping allegations against “Muslim MPs.” He should name the Member concerned instead of generalising. Do not tarnish all. Aim at the right target.
¶ 03 Thank you.
