The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper questioned why the relevant information was not disclosed initially regarding an appointment involving a dual citizen. He argued that the answer given to his earlier question improperly avoided addressing the issue and requested an explanation to the House on how the appointee would address potential conflicts of interest arising from dual citizenship.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 So, why did you not say that in the first instance? My second question is this. Now you admit that at the time you gave the Answer—not at the time I submitted the Question—you knew very well that one person with dual citizenship had been appointed, and then you avoided my other question under (iv) by saying, “It does not arise.” It is completely wrong! Now, you have to explain to this House how this person, being a dual citizen, would overcome the issue of conflict of interest.
