Sri Lanka: Parliament To Release MPs' Speeches Online
2 Jul  2010

Sri Lanka's state-owned Sinhala daily The Dinamina reported today that a proposal has been mooted by the ruling party to immediately post online the speeches delivered by the parliamentarians.

The proposal has been submitted to the Speaker by the Chief Government Whip Dinesh Gunawardena on behalf of the ruling party.

The Dinamina said that the proposal is pending approval of the Speaker.

Parliamentary speeches can be read in Hanzard but they are not immediately released and also are not easily accessible for the public. No credible online source is available regarding the speeches delivered in parliament sans media reports that have been subjected to severe editing.
