Speaker asks Rosy to stay close to him

Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa yesterday advised United National Party (UNP) parliamentarian Rosy Senanayake to stay close to him as otherwise she would disturb the proceedings in the House by chatting to others.

The Speaker said this when he noticed Ms. Senanayake chatting to her colleagues Sujeewa Senasinghe and Harsha de Silva.

“It is better for you stay near me. Otherwise, you will waste time chatting with others,” he said.

The trio had quietened down when they heard the Speaker’s remarks. (Kelum Bandara and Yohan Perera)
