The Hon. (Prof.) Anil Jayantha
Prof. Anil Jayantha raised a point of order to dispute another Member’s statement, saying the information about a Deputy Minister of Finance at a Rajanganaya Divisional Development Committee was inaccurate. He clarified that there are two Deputy Ministers attached to the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, that he had attended a Divulapitiya Divisional Development Committee meeting, and that the matter alleged was not discussed there. He requested that inaccurate claims be corrected to avoid misleading the House.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order.
¶ 02 Mr. Speaker, the information presented by the Hon. Member is incorrect. There are two Deputy Ministers attached to the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. I participated in a Divulapitiya Divisional Development Committee. Nothing of that sort was discussed there. This is mere hearsay.
¶ 03 No, I am not attached to Rajanganaya. You can check that. I am only saying that when you state information, state it accurately. You speak of a Rajanganaya Divisional Development Committee and a Deputy Minister of Finance. I am a Deputy Minister attached to the Ministry of Finance. Please correct it. Do not present wrong information and mislead the House. No, no, correct it first. You said “Deputy Minister of Finance.” Acknowledge that and then return with accurate information; do not speak falsehoods in between.
