Siesta time for Lokuge
20 July 2011 10:27 am
Labour Minister Gamini Lokuge was unable to respond to the opposition during question time in Parliament today because he was dozing off in his seat.
Having realized that Mr. Lokuge was asleep, Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardane had to respond to the opposition.
UNP MP Dayasiri Jayasekara, in his question placed on the order paper, asked about the total value of deposits in the Employees Trust Fund and various investments made out of it.
In the absence of Mr. Jayasekara, UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake raised the question. However, Mr. Gunawardane asked for more time to answer the question. (KB & YP)
