No-confidence motion against the Speaker

The Samagi Jana Balawegaya is preparing to move a no-confidence motion against Speaker Ashoka Rangwala.

The Samagi Jana Balawegaya parliamentary group is scheduled to meet today to discuss this matter. The final decision regarding the no-confidence motion against the Speaker is scheduled to be taken at that time.

The Speaker had been acting in a manner that he thought he had a doctorate degree in the past, and there has been talk that he does not have a doctorate degree. The word “Dr.” was written in front of the Speaker’s name on the official website of the Parliament, but it was later removed.

However, in a post on the official Facebook page of the Parliament regarding the meeting between the Speaker and a group of diplomats yesterday, the Speaker was referred to as Dr. Ashoka Rangwala.
