The Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam objected to the deferral of his oral question, noting that he had travelled from Batticaloa to Colombo while Provincial Council election nomination work was imminent. He requested that, especially during the Budget period, Members be informed in advance by telephone when ministerial answers are to be postponed so they can manage parliamentary attendance and election-related duties.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, please give me a minute.
¶ 02 Hon. Leader of the House, since Provincial Council election nominations are about to be announced, I came from Batticaloa to Colombo because my Question was listed for oral answer today. Now, a further two weeks are sought. During the Budget period, please at least notify us by a call in advance when answers are deferred. This is very unfair. We must both submit nominations and also attend Parliament. If Ministers need two weeks, at least inform us the day before so we can manage time efficiently.
¶ 03 Question ordered to stand down.
