The official website of the Parliament of Sri Lanka, which has been operating for 19 years, was revamped with numerous new features and launched under the patronage of Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne in Parliament recently (17 Nov).
According to a Parliament statement, the official website of the Parliament of Sri Lanka was first created and launched in 2006. Since then, it has been updated twice, and this launch marks the third major redesign of the official parliamentary website.
Under the guidance of Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne, and under the supervision of Secretary General of Parliament Kushani Rohanadeera and the senior management of the Secretariat, the revamping of the website was carried out by the Information Systems and Management Department of Parliament with the full support of the National Democratic Institute (NDI), in collaboration with TekGeeks (Pvt) Ltd.
The new parliamentary website has been developed to suit modern requirements, allowing easier access and incorporating many additional features. Through the website’s “My Parliament” portal, every citizen is now able to directly engage with Parliament and its Members. By registering on the website, the public can conveniently access services provided by Parliament. In addition, state employees who work with Parliament can also facilitate their official tasks through this registration process.
The Parliament website is an award-winning government website and has been recognized for many years, at national competitions as the “Best Government Website” and “Best Multilingual Website.” Operating in Sinhala, Tamil, and English, the website already has plans in place for further enhancements in the future.
