Parliamentary Procedure

## Summary The speaker, Mrs. Rohini Kumari Wijerathna, briefly redirected a Deputy Minister away from references to previous governments, noting that the current administration has had one year and four months in office — sufficient time to have made 4,000 appointments in question. She then yielded the floor to Hon. Dilip Wedaarachchi for a second supplementary question.

You spoke about the past. There is no use talking about previous governments, Hon. Deputy Minister. It has now been one year and four months. If you were to appoint the 4,000, you had the time. I will yield the opportunity for the second supplementary to the Hon. Dilip Wedaarachchi.
