Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardene said he would look into the matter with regard to the alleged dual citizenship of Parliamentarian Diana Gamage.
He told this in Parliament when Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MPs urged the Speaker to take action against MP Gamage who alleged to have dual citizenship.
MP Chaminda Wijesiri said it was against the Constitution to function a dual citizenship as an MP after enacting the 21st Amendment to the Constitution.
He said the Speaker can take action against her in accordance with Standing Orders.
The Speaker said he would look into it. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

Roshan at the People’s channel will be very sad and upset as he thinks Ganja Baba’s citizenship is not an issue. Think he is waiting for his pull. Today “Dawasa” will be dull.

so a foreigner had registered a political party in SL, and was trying to sell ganja

Immigration chief says, she is not srilankan citizen but UK citizen. Who said dual Citizen?

The reply of Ranil when this was raised by Mujeebur was appalling, even the justice minister couldn't, failed to provide a reasonable rebuttal. Rw behaved as a joker

What RW said was the truth.SJB is under her party registration.
Chris Tuesday, 06 December 2022 04:41 PM
Sajith appointed her from the national list as SJB is registered under Diana. She owns the party

Speaker will favour Pohottuwa that Diana is supporting at present and order in favour of her stalemating the SC application that is pending

Clown of a president, acting silly in the parliament is disgraceful.Retierment age of 60 Years ,for all parliamentarians, and President and Prime minister must be made compulsory. So that their will be people with sense of Responsibility as the Legislators

This is a serious matter. Parlimentary acts passed by dual citizens are not valid. They should leave the parliament.

Is this the behavior of Srilankan law makers including the President and the speaker. Justice is not served. Do you think we will have any investors coming to this country.

No wonder she is promoting Night clubs/life and plants that are addictive.

Ahhh... Anyone knows what happened to Disney land project ?! It's really bad you guys should let her work for prosperity.

Yes, opening a Disneyland in SL makes as much business sense as opening a shop on the moon.

In a digital world, we usually call the world, a GLOBAL VILLAGE, so enacting law against targeting single family is UNFAIR. If DUAL CITIZEN HOLDERS can not hold a parliament seat, then the GOVT. should not go begging the world any more FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

She should ask her salary to be paid in pounds or Euros.
Lal. Fernando. Wednesday, 07 December 2022 01:58 AM
It is sad to say, I feel this speaker is a mirror man. Every issue he says he will look into it.

As Diana Gamage's Dual Citizenship is now in breach of the Sri Lankan Constitution she should be immediately removed from office. Also, the State MUST recover the taxpayer funded salary and fringe benefits from the date that the constitutional amendment came into force.

Constitution; Article 91; (1) No person shall be qualified to be elected as a Member of Parliament or to sit and vote in Parliament. (d) if he/she is; (xiii) a citizen of Sri Lanka who is also a citizen of any other country.

Google: CID B-report reveals Diana Gamage used UK passport to enter Sri Lanka
K. Ranaweera Wednesday, 07 December 2022 08:34 AM
One law to Geetha Kumarasinghe and different law to Diana Gamage. But One country and One law. Where is Galaboda Gnathiswara thero.
hoodwinker Wednesday, 07 December 2022 08:16 PM
Diana fiasco is getting stale and SJB now is a Foreign Political Party and once again former Election Commissioner was responsible just like he allowed GOTA to be running for Prez.
dinesh Wednesday, 07 December 2022 11:22 PM
