The government yesterday launched the Parliament website enabling people from all corners of the world to have access to information relating to parliamentary affairs including the proceedings, Hanzard reports, special committees and order papers.
www. Parliament.lk was launched at a simple function in the parliament complex with Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayake and Speaker W.J.M. Lokubandara gracing the occasion
Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Wickramanayake said the advancement of information technology had enabled people to carry out their day to day affairs in a convenient manner and as a result the launch of the website was of vital importance.
Speaker Lokubandara said Parliament was meant for its members to reach common consensus through discussions without making it a place to raise objections only. He said though people took the west as a model for parliament democracy, there had been numerous instances in India where modern day parliament democratic values had been upheld during the time of the Lord Buddha.
Parliament General Secretary Priyani Wijesekara said they planned to establish state-of-the art communication systems in the chamber, committee rooms and the library

I still remember the last speech made by the late Madam Bandaranaike in the parliament. This revealed how the MPs should behave in the parliament.And she criticized the vulgar behavior of the Members.
A suggestion to the Hon Speaker to include that speech as a preamble. |
