The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Dayasiri Jayasekara objected to the suspension of funds previously promised to Opposition MPs, arguing that such allocations had been provided even when the JVP had only three MPs. He requested that the President be consulted to end what he described as unfair treatment and to establish a mechanism allowing the 66 Opposition MPs to participate in the relevant funding process.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please allow me one more minute.
¶ 02 This is money that had been promised, which you have now stopped. Even when there were only three JVP MPs in this House, they received funds in the same manner. Do not do this injustice. There are 66 Opposition MPs — they too were elected by the people. Therefore, I request you to speak to the President and stop this injustice entirely. Provide a mechanism for Opposition MPs to participate in this. This is extremely unfair.
