The Parliamentary Business Committee has decided that the no‑confidence motion against the Minister of Justice and National Integration, Harshana Nanayakkara, will be taken up for debate in Parliament on Friday (24).
The decision was reached during the Parliamentary Business Committee’s meeting held earlier today.
The Opposition formally handed over a no‑confidence motion against Minister of Justice Harshana Nanayakkara to Speaker Jagath Wickramaratne in Parliament yesterday (22).
The submission was made with the signatures of several Opposition MPs, marking a coordinated challenge to the Minister’s position.
The motion comes in direct response to the Negombo Prison unrest on July 5 and 6, where clashes left a number of prison officers and inmates dead and several others seriously injured.
The Opposition argues that Minister Nanayakkara failed to fulfill his responsibility and accountability for ensuring the safety of those in custody. (Newswire)
