Speaker refuses to allow Ravi to make special statement
Speaker Karu Jayasuriya on Wednesday refused to allow former Minister Ravi Karunanayake to make a special statement in Parliament on the treasury bond issue.
Karunanayake wanted to make a statement with regards to the report by the Presidential Commission on the treasury bond scam.
However the Speaker refused to allow the Parliamentarian to make a special statement on the issue.
The Presidential Commission had named Karunanayake among those accused in the scam and proposed that legal action be taken against him. (Colombo Gazette)
