Speaker Karu Jayasuriya denied a request made by MP Ravi Karunanayake to make a special statement in Parliament today.
The Speaker said Mr. Karunanayake cannot be allowed to make a statement as it does not fall in line with a privilege issue.
“Your request cannot be granted as you wanted to raise a privilege issue and the matter which you intend to raise does not fall in line with a privilege issue. Therefore, I cannot allow you to make the statement in accordance with the standing orders,” Speaker Jayasuriya said.
Mr. Kaunsnayake then sought an explanation from the Speaker on his decision. (Yohan Perera & Ajith Siriwardhana)

How can he be a real gent? He did not know who paid rent for his residential apartment ? Misguided Lion's statement may be from the big man himself. Voters are not fools anymore. Be an absolute gent and face the music , Ravi !
