The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Dr. Ramanathan Archchuna challenged the rejection of his Question under Standing Order 27(2), arguing that alleged improper Health Ministry payments to a doctor who had gone abroad for five months constituted a national matter. He asked whether public funds allegedly misused in the North should qualify for parliamentary scrutiny under that Standing Order.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, it is clearly stated under Standing Order 27(2) as ‘national matters’. I questioned about money stolen in the North. For five months, a doctor was paid by the Health Ministry even after he had gone abroad. Is that not a national issue? When we present such Questions, you reject them.
