Speaker has become a post box – GL Peiris
Posted on August 7th, 2018
The responsibility safeguarding the legitimate right of the Opposition falls under the Speaker, not the UPFA General Secretary, stated SLPP Chairman Prof. G. L. Peiris.
He stated this joining a media conference held in Colombo, today (07).
However, the Speaker has completely abandoned his responsibility of safeguarding the legitimate right of the Opposition, he points out.
Speaker Karu Jayasuriya has become a pot box today, further said Prof. Peiris.

Opposition Leader must come from the JO. Otherwise it is a mockery of democracy. The conduct of the Speaker has eroded public confidence in parliament. RIP parliament.
