The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Ravi Karunanayake raised a Point of Order concerning questions under Standing Order 27(2), stating that such questions are used to place known facts before the House and the public when the Prime Minister and Cabinet are present. He argued that the newly elected Government appears to be continuing previous policies rather than ending what he described as a “76-year curse,” and specifically questioned the continued presence of a former Central Bank official.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a Point of Order.
¶ 02 Hon. Speaker, when the Hon. Prime Minister and the Cabinet are in the House, we raise questions under Standing Order 27(2) to reveal facts we do know, and to show the public how the newly-elected Government will end a 76‑year curse. What we now see is not the curse, but that same policy is being continued, and even a former Central Bank official is still in place.
