The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya
Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya stated that the names in the two Gazettes issued by former President Maithripala Sirisena in December 2016 did not include any names from Gazette No. 123 issued during British administration. She noted that the names referred to by the Member appear in a different Gazette and include many differing or duplicate names not found in the Sirisena-era Gazettes, and said the matter requires further investigation before a decision is taken.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, we need to examine this properly. Looking into the background, among the names in the two Gazettes issued by former President Maithripala Sirisena in December 2016, there was not a single name from the list in Gazette No. 123 issued during the British administration. Mr. Speaker, the names the Hon. Member refers to are in a different Gazette with many DOD [duplicate or differing] names not found in the Gazettes issued by former President Sirisena. Therefore, we need to investigate further and then take a decision.
