Over 175 MPs register online in Parliament

More than 175 newly elected Parliamentarians have submitted their personnel details to the Parliament through the ‘’Online Registration System’’ introduced by the Parliament Secretariat by Friday afternoon.

This online system was introduced for the convenience of the Members of Parliament and accordingly they could submit information while staying in their constituencies without travelling to the Parliament, a press release from the Parliament said.

The Secretary General of Parliament Dammika Dassanayake stated that due to the COVID – 19 pandemic situations, the parliament has introduced several digital mechanisms in its activities and the virtual registration is one of these initiatives.

Adding to it, the Secretary General stated that the newly elected MPs showed great interest in submitting their details online and will be looking forward for the completion of the process by tomorrow.

However,  50 more MPs were due to submit their details.
