The Hon. K.D. Lal Kantha
K.D. Lal Kantha said the Gazette process was intended to inform relevant authorities, including Divisional and District Secretaries. He proposed that the Attorney-General, members, and officials meet the committee on the 23rd to reach a definitive decision, including whether the Gazette should be legally halted if necessary.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you for your views. Generally, a Gazette is precisely to inform; notices have gone to Divisional and District Secretaries.
¶ 02 There is no point going in circles. To obtain a definitive answer, on the 23rd the Attorney-General, all of you, and the officials will meet the committee and decide. If the Gazette needs to be halted, we will halt it under the law. We can find the proper procedure. There is no insurmountable difficulty. Humanity always finds answers after questions arise. Let us decide on the 23rd, with your cooperation. Thank you.
