Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Hon. Ravi Karunanayake stated that he had acted in response to Members’ requests and did not wish his Motion to hinder the holding of Provincial Council elections. He expressed support for resolving matters related to those elections and suggested removing references to the “Provincial Council Elections Act” from his Motion if the relevant Special Committee completes its report within three months, enabling his Select Committee’s work to conclude in a similar timeframe.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I acted in line with Members’ requests. If this creates any obstacle to holding Provincial Council elections, I have no desire to cause that. I fully support the matters relating to Provincial Council elections. If that Special Committee finalizes its report within three months, then having removed “Provincial Council Elections Act” from my Motion, the task under my Select Committee could also be completed in about three months, which would be good.
