Main Opposition SJB today accused the Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana for blocking a vote on debate to remove Sri Lanka Cricket Officials.
“Another blow to democracy in Sri Lanka. The Speaker of @ParliamentLK refused repeated request for a division (vote by name) on debate to remove board of SriLanka Cricket on charges of gross corruption. Instead passed motion without a vote to hide major division in Government” SJB MP Harsha de Silva.
Despite opposition requesting a vote by name, Speaker passed the resolution saying both the Government and Opposition MPs have agreed for it. (NewsWire)
