A group of nine parliamentarians have submitted a motion calling for a Parliamentary Select Committee to be established to inquire into the MPs on the UPFA nomination list who thereafter joined the SLPP.
The motion which was submitted to Speaker Karu Jayasuriya urged him to refrain from recognising Mahinda Rajapaksa or any other individual who would be investigated by the committee, as parliamentarians.
Accordingly, the motion suggested that the committee be appointed by the Speaker but according to Standing Order 25 should include 11 members to inquire into the parliamentarians.
The Committee on High Posts has approved the nomination of Former Air Force Commander Air Chief Marshal (Retd.)
Former Chairman of SriLankan Airlines, Nishantha Wickramasinghe, arrested on allegation of corruption by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been remanded until July 1 by the Colombo Magistrate court.
