The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara raised a matter under Standing Order 92(2) regarding alleged harassment of an officer in the Parliament IT Department and noted that six months had passed since Hon. Sujatha Alahapperuma submitted a report with no apparent action. He questioned the appointment of another lower-level committee despite an earlier committee headed by a Supreme Court Judge, and requested the Speaker to take a decision on disciplinary action or ensure appropriate committee leadership.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, under Standing Order 92(2), six months ago Hon. Sujatha Alahapperuma submitted a report on harassment faced by an officer of the Parliament IT Department. Six months have passed with no progress. Instead, another committee has been appointed. Earlier, a committee headed by a Supreme Court Judge was appointed. No disciplinary action has been taken against the officers concerned; instead, a lower-level committee has been set up. If so, a Supreme Court Judge should chair such a committee. Kindly take a decision, Hon. Speaker. Six months have passed.
