The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake clarified that Sectoral Oversight Committees are not being renamed or abolished, and that only their functions are temporarily changed until 31 January. He stated that, with the concurrence of Party Leaders, the committees will be restarted after that date, and urged the new Chief Opposition Whip, Gayanta Karunathilaka, to communicate Party Leaders’ decisions clearly to avoid confusion.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Ajith P. Perera, there is no renaming as such when you read the full text. What changes, only until 31 January, is the function. I can clearly assure you—indeed all Party Leaders agreed—Sectoral Oversight Committees are not being abolished; they remain. After 31 January, with Party Leaders’ concurrence, we will restart them. The new Chief Organizer of the Opposition, Hon. Gayanta Karunathilaka, can also ensure proper communication of Party Leaders’ decisions to your Members to avoid confusion. Congratulations to him on his appointment; we wish him well.
