MP Archuuna’s fate to be decided after committee probe: Speaker

A committee is currently probing MP Ramanathan Archuuna, and his fate will be decided based on its findings, Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne told Parliament today.

The Speaker provided this information after MP Archuuna inquired about a complaint he had made against Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, whom he accused of depriving him of his right to speak in the House.

Chief Opposition Whip Gayantha Karunathillake said the Opposition is awaiting the Speaker’s advice on MP Archuuna.

The MP in question is accused of misconduct in the recent past.
