New legislation to ensure standards of MPs: President

A new legislation will be introduced soon to ensure the proper standards of MPs, President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced today.

“Many are questioning the standard of Parliament following the two incidents that took place during this week. Therefore, I would like to state that former Speaker Karu Jayasuriya is drafting legislation to ensure high standards of MPs,” the President said during the UNP convention.

He hinted that an authority will be appointed to monitor the behaviour of MPs as done in many countries.(Yohan Perera)
