(Lanka-e-News- 19.May.2015, 11.55PM) It is a well and widely known fact that the sublime parliament or the house of representatives is being fast turned into an infernal mad house by the madcap behavior of SLFP parliamentary slaves who are bent on wasting parliamentary time to the detriment of national interests. The leader of the house Lakshman Kiriella while lamenting this disgraceful state of affairs in parliament said at the end of the parliamentary sessions , the two motions presented in parliament and the standing orders by the demented SLFP slaves are untenable in law.
The two motions were : the removal of the commissioner of bribery and corruption , and the Central Bank governor .
It is common knowledge that Parliamentary proposals cannot be brought to oust government officials , Lakshman Kiriella pointed out. In future because these SLFP moronic slaves who ought to be in the lunatic asylum are in parliament it will not be a matter for surprise if proposals are brought in parliament to dismiss latrine coolies of the Municipal council too, Kiriella noted .
The parliament secretary who included these motions in the parliamentary agenda has committed a mistake , Kiriella explained.
At the party leaders’ meeting the speaker accepted the reasons adduced by the leader of the house . Yet when the parliament commenced its sessions , political coolies and slaves including Weerawansa made the parliament a stage to perform their lunatic acrobatics taking a stance contrary to the speakers’ clear directive whereby the parliament had to be postponed until tomorrow , Kiriella bemoaned.
Details of the flaws pointed out by Kiriella is herein.
The Order Book of Parliament No. 14 issued on 30th April, 2015 and
The Order Book of Parliament No. 14(1) issued on 8th May, 2015 have the following Motions, respectively :
(1) A Motion of No-Confidence in respect of Mrs. Dilrukshi Dias Wickramasinghe, Director-General of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption.
(2) A Motion seeking the dismissal of Mr. Arjuna Mahendran, Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
Both these Motions are out of order in as much as there is no provision for Parliament to pass a Vote of No-Confidence on a public official, nor is there any provision to seek the dismissal of a public official by way of such a Motion.
Article 55 of the Constitution deals with the appointment, promotion, transfer, disciplinary control and dismissal of public officers.
Section 16 of the Monetary Law Act deals with the appointment and removal of the Governor of the Central Bank.
Both these are Acts of Parliament and it is anomalous for Parliament to seek to by-pass its own laws in this manner.
In addition, it is to be noted that there are references to the Prime Minister in both Motions.
Standing Order 84 debars members referring to any other member or imputing improper motives to any other member except by way of a substantive Motion in this regard.
Reference to the Prime Minister in this oblique manner it is also violation of these Standing Orders.
Furthermore these Motions are in the nature of Charge Sheets against these particular Officials and it will be a violation of the principles of audi alteram partem in as much as these two officials have neither an opportunity nor an occasion to refute these charges.
