The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a Point of Order regarding quorum during the debate, noting that very few Government Members were present in the Chamber. He questioned the propriety of proceeding with the debate, which he said had been scheduled for the following week, and called attention to the low attendance despite public expenditure on parliamentary proceedings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 The Point of Order is quorum. We are spending so much money, yet not even ten Government Members are in the Chamber. This debate was to be taken next week. Count the numbers—hardly sixteen. Now only one more has come.
