Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna criticized Members of Parliament for the alleged daily public cost of Rs. 15 million and accused them of misusing facilities and allowances. He urged MPs to reflect on their conduct during the remaining three years of the parliamentary term, warning that continued behaviour of this kind would damage their public standing.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will conclude, Sir.
¶ 02 Rs. 15 million per day is the cost. All of you come, eat lunch, go to Madivela, take a little drink and sleep. Then take another cab. Are you not ashamed? Raise your hands on your heart and say whether what you are doing is right. I beg you again. Only three years remain. If you continue like this for those three years, you will not even be seen on the stage.
