President Ranil Wickremesinghe arrived in Parliament this morning, shortly after the session began. He is currently delivering a special statement on the implementation of debt restructuring agreements.
In light of this, the scheduled parliamentary debate and vote on these agreements, originally set for today and tomorrow, have been postponed.
Earlier, Speaker of Parliament Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena had notified all Members of Parliament in writing to attend a special session at 9:30 a.m. on July 2, 2024. This session was called in accordance with Standing Order No. 16 of the Parliament’s Standing Orders, following a request by the Prime Minister.
