Secretary General of Parliament Kushani Rohanadeera has said that she has fulfilled duties assigned to her office like all other members of the Parliament staff, dismissing allegations levelled against her by some civil society organisations.

She has refuted the allegations levelled against her by the Citizens of the People’s Struggle that she had failed to properly guide the Speaker of Parliament on handling the affairs of the House.

Citizens of the People’s Struggle General Secretary Chanaka Bandara had claimed recently that when looking at Parliament’s proceedings following the election of the current Government to office, it was apparent that Rohanadeera had failed to properly guide the Speaker in carrying out parliamentary affairs.

Rohanadeera however has told the media: “There is not even a need to talk about such allegations. Although governments change, government officials should carry out their duties. All parliamentary officials including me do the same. We always fulfil our duties.”
