Hansard records both NCMs as having been passed by Parliament
The passing of two No Confidence Motions (NCM)s against Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa have been recorded in the official record of Parliament’s proceedings – the Hansards of November 14 and November 16.
The Hansards for the two days record that "In terms of Standing Order No. 135 that Standing Order No. 27 is suspended for the day in order to move the No-Confidence Motion. "
Speaker Karu Jayasuirya is also on record saying the, “I am ordering that "Ayes" will have It. The (NC) Motion is carried. “
On both days the NCMs were passed amidst an uproar from MPs supporting Mahinda Rajapaksa which led to clashes between MPs.
However neither of the NMCs has been accepted as ‘duly’ passed by President Maithripala Sirisena who wants a vote by name for either side to show their majority.
No date has yet been fixed for a third NCM.
