Rohitha Bogollagama, the UNP Member of Parliament for the Kurunegala District, who is also the recently appointed Cabinet Minister of the Peoples Alliance government, had challenged in the Supreme Court his purported expulsion from the UNP, dated November 18, 2004, and notified to him on December 2, 2004.
The petition said that the Working Committee of the UNP had failed to follow the prescribed procedure in deciding to terminate his membership in the UNP. The UNP working committee had alleged that the Petitioner had taken up a Cabinet Portfolio in the People's Alliance government, without seeking the permission of the working committee of the UNP.
The petition said that the purported expulsion from the UNP is mala-fide since the Rules of Natural Justice had not been followed by the Working Committee of the UNP. The petitioner wanted the court to declare the expulsion null and void, and further to declare that the petitioner has not ceased to be a member of parliament, and will continue to be so in the future.

Very soon, RB will have to fight expulsion from his own household.
Hey ! Mr. Minister, get your inhouse sorted in order before embarking on mightier matters.
What example have you & your spouse set to the masses of Sri Lanka who elected you to hold & serve from a public office ?? |
