Chief Opposition Whip Gayantha Karunathilaka has withdrawn from the three-member parliamentary committee investigating MP Dayasiri Jayasekara’s conduct in Parliament.
Speaker Dr. Jagath Wickramanayake announced the change on June 6, naming MP Rauff Hakeem as his replacement.
The committee was initially appointed following a formal complaint regarding Jayasekara’s behaviour during the May 20 parliamentary session.
It is chaired by Deputy Chairperson Hemali Weerasekara, with Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath also serving. The committee is tasked with investigating the incident and submitting a report to the Speaker. (Newswire)
