The Hon. Anura Karunathilaka - Minister of Urban Development, Construction and Housing
The Minister objected to a Member’s intervention, stating that a point of order under Standing Order 92(2)(a) is limited to one minute and must raise a valid procedural issue. He urged the Chair not to allow parliamentary time to be wasted and said unsubstantiated allegations against the Leader of the House or any Member should not be permitted without evidence.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, under Standing Order 92(2)(a), a point of order allows only one minute. The Member exceeded that and raised no valid point of order. Do not allow the time of this House to be wasted. He also made specific allegations against the Leader of the House without substantiation. Such baseless accusations against any Member should not be permitted without proof.
