NPP asks why SLPP, SJB didn't vote against Bill to abolish perks and privileges of former Presidents
The Island
|September 15, 2025
The NPP has asked the SLPP why the latter did not vote against the Presidents' Entitlements (Repeal Bill), which they lambasted, last week.
NPP MP Dewananda Suraweera yesterday said that the three-member SLPP parliamentary group should have opposed the Bill if the former governing party had genuinely believed that it was targeting their leader, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. Both the SLPP and SJB walked out of the Chamber at the time of voting.
The Bill received 151 votes in favour while only Chamara Sampath Dissanayake (New Demoractic Front) voted against it.
The NPP parliamentary group consists of 159 whereas the SJB comprises 40 MPs. The other members of the NDF are Ravi Karunanayake (National List), Faizer Musthapa (National List), Rohitha Abeygunawardena (Kalutara) and Lanka Anuradha Jayaratne (Mahanuwara).
