The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara questioned a reported statement by Cabinet Spokesman Hon. Nalinda Jayatissa that the Supreme Court determination on the Provincial Councils Elections (Special Provisions) Bill had already been sent to the Speaker. He asked why such a statement was made when the Speaker had indicated it had not been received, and requested an explanation on whether the Minister had relied on accurate information from the Supreme Court.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I am raising this again because it is important. The Cabinet Spokesman, Hon. Nalinda Jayatissa, at the press briefing last Wednesday or Thursday, said that by then the Supreme Court determination on the Provincial Councils Elections (Special Provisions) Bill had been sent to the Speaker. I do not know why such a statement was made, because you say you have not received it. The case was recalled on Friday. The Minister made the statement on Thursday. Did he make that statement with accurate information from the Supreme Court? Hon. Nalinda Jayatissa, please explain what exactly has happened, because if the Supreme Court has not sent such a determination, your statement as Cabinet Spokesman and as a Minister is not correct.
