The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna raised a point of order citing Standing Order No. 118(3), which requires the Ethics and Privileges Committee to submit a final report within two weeks of a complaint. He complained that an inquiry he filed a year earlier regarding alleged abusive language by YouTube host Sudaththa had repeatedly been postponed through cancelled meetings, and requested attention to the delay.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of Order.
¶ 02 Standing Order No. 118(3) clearly states that if a complaint is submitted to the Ethics and Privileges Committee, the final report must be given to you within two weeks. Hon. Speaker, a complaint I submitted a year ago is still being postponed; the person is summoned and then the meeting is cancelled — last month it was cancelled, and the previous month as well. This inquiry pertains to a YouTube channel host named Sudaththa who abused me in foul language. Now, one year has passed, Sir.
