The Hon. Sajith Premadasa - Leader of the Opposition
Sajith Premadasa sought clarification from the Speaker on why the Supreme Court determination on the Provincial Councils Elections (Special Provisions) Bill had not been announced in Parliament. He noted that the determination had reportedly been sent to the Speaker, publicly reported, and linked to an election timetable presented to the country, and asked why it could not be formally communicated to the House.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I need a clarification. From the Announcements you made, it appears you have not published in the House the determination of the Supreme Court on the Provincial Councils Elections (Special Provisions) Bill. We saw the Supreme Court decision the other day. It has already been given to you. The election timetable was even presented to the country and widely reported. Yet, today you are unable to announce in this Parliament the Supreme Court determination. I wish to know why, since it has been publicly stated that you have received it.
