About 8 MPs are dual citizens: PHU
10 May 2017 11:42 am - 15 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
At least eight MPs are dual citizenship holders and the court ruling on Geetha Kumarasinghe should apply to these MPs as well, Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) General Secretary MP Udaya Gammanpila told a news conference yesterday.
He said he had submitted the list of parliamentarians to the Department of Immigration and Emigration requesting it to confirm as to who among them were dual citizens.
Mr. Gammanpila said he had made his application under the Right to Information Act.
“Nothing has been confirmed yet. However, I will know the details within a month,” he said adding that the sentence meted out to Ms. Kumarasinghe should be meted out to any of the other MPs found guilty of being dual citizens. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

Not just dual citizens but even permeant residents should not be allowed to run for office. They don't have the interest of the country while they have their feats in two ships ready to jump if things don't turn favourable for them while the voter "supporter" holds the bag.

Hopefully he would get the confirmation before the next election!?!

Good if what you are saying is true failing you should be taken out from you post.

Mr Siyalladath, get the details first and then talk. Your action does not justify Geetha's presence in parliament. All who has dial citizen ship should go out. Now you all have a new topic to hang on to. Live with that for another few days until the next topic. Do something good for the country without fighting for individuals. Let the court decide what is right and what is wrong.

In other countries people with dual citizenship are never given any responsible position in the government or governmental agencies.

His name also doubt.
Sarath Wednesday, 10 May 2017 02:15 PM
Would you still disclose the names even if all 8 persons happen to be from the Joint Opposition?
