Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa today advised UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake to admit his mistakes and correct himself accordingly.
The Speaker made this remark when Mr. Karunanayake tried to fault the government for the abrupt end of parliamentary proceedings at 2.35 pm on Thursday due to the absence of the two UNP MPs listed to participate in the debate. Mr. Karunanayake was one of them.
“Parliamentary proceedings were supposed to go on till 6.00pm. We had some other work. There were government members listed to speak. They should have taken up the debate instead of terminating it due to our absence. Hereafter, we will also not co-operate if the government treats us in this manner,” Mr. Karunanayake said.
“If he is absent, we will move to the next person. Once the entire list is exhausted, the proceedings will end. That is the procedure. Please admit you mistakes and correct yourself,” the Speaker said. (Kelum Bandara and Yohan Perera)

On this procedural point I believe the speaker is correct. Mr Ravi K you really should have been in the house as you were on the list to speak, and give vent to the feelings of the opposition on the governments action on the particular ministry you were supposed to speak on.
I know it is hard to be on time, but if you are scheduled to speak as the people's representative in parliament please make an extra effort, as it is the people of this country you are kidding and no one else.
Take it straight up, there are no ifs and buts.

He will never admit his mistakes. Everything he did as a minister was against the interest of Sri Lankan public

Be logical Mr.Karunanayaka, you propose a cut on a particular minister's vote and you expect the Govt to carry on the debate on the cutting of the vote?Are you really in your senses?
Nodrog Friday, 09 December 2011 09:18 AM
That will be the when any MP, Govt or Opposition, will admit they are wrong.

First correct yourself before talking to others.
