The Hon. Sunil Watagala, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Sunil Watagala disputed allegations made against his party regarding members’ contributions, stating that any contributions are made to a public party fund. He rejected claims involving Rs. 80,000 as false and argued that references to the Parliament (Powers and Privileges) Act and the Code of Conduct do not align with his party’s actual practice.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 You earlier cited the Parliament (Powers and Privileges) Act—section 11. Now you refer to a Code of Conduct. Even there, what you claim and our practice differ. Our contributions go to a public fund of the party; the other claims about Rs. 80,000 are outright lies.
