The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Hon. Ravi Karunanayake complained that questions relating to the Central Bank remain unanswered in Parliament, stating that 11 such questions are outstanding. He questioned whether the Central Bank considers itself outside parliamentary accountability and requested that the Chair intervene to ensure responses are provided.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, the Hon. Minister (Dr.) Anil Jayantha or the Hon. Deputy Minister Nishantha Jayaweera always answer these Questions. But when it comes to Questions relating to the Central Bank, there are 11 outstanding. What do they expect? Are they a separate entity that does not report to Parliament? This is the eleventh Question the Central Bank is not answering. I say this for your good and the Government’s good. We are from the Opposition. This type of nonsense should not be permitted, Sir. I would appreciate your looking into this.
