A new legislation will be introduced soon to ensure the proper standards of MPs, President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced over the weekend.
“Many are questioning the standard of Parliament following the two incidents that took place during last week.
Therefore, I would like to state that former Speaker Karu Jayasuriya is drafting legislation to ensure high standards of MPs,” the President said during the UNP convention
He hinted that an authority will be appointed to monitor the behaviour of MPs as done in many countries.
State Minister Diana Gamage who commented on the matter said it is a welcome move. “ A legislation to discipline MPs is most welcome. It is high time we disciplined MPs” the state minister said.
State Minister Gamage alleged that she was assaulted by SJB MP Sujith Sanjaya Perera but the latter had dismissed the allegation.
