It is reported that a senior from the United National Party (UNP) is set to be appointed to the Deputy Speaker post vacated by MP Thilanga Sumathipala recently.
It has been decided to give the post to the UNP as a majority of the SLFP MP’s have decided to sit in the opposition while the remaining MP’s are all members of the Cabinet.
According to political sources in recent times Sumathipala has worked in a manner bringing disrepute to the post of Deputy Speaker and therefore a senior will be appointed to the post instead to set an example for junior MP’s.
