The Island
|November 20, 2025
Chief Government Whip and Health and Mass Media Minister, Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, yesterday (19) called on SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa to clarify concerns raised in the media over the authenticity of the latter's law qualifications.
Dr. Jayatissa told Parliament that several news websites and social media outlets had questioned the process through which Rajapaksa gained admission to the Sri Lanka Law College (SLLC), and said it was time for the MP to explain the matter to the House.
According to the Minister, Rajapaksa entered the SLLC by submitting a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree certificate, issued by the City University London, on September 15, 2009.
He said the first concern raised by the media related to the authenticity of the certificate.
