November 25, Colombo (LNW): A specialised three-day workshop for the newly elected members of the Tenth Parliament of Sri Lanka is set to begin today (25).
This intensive training programme, scheduled to run through November 27, aims to equip parliamentarians with essential knowledge and understanding of the country’s legislative procedures, parliamentary culture, and traditions.
The workshop, which is being held annually for all incoming MPs after each general election, is designed to provide new legislators with a comprehensive orientation to their roles and responsibilities.
Topics covered will include the intricacies of parliamentary debates, legislative processes, and the code of conduct expected of MPs during their tenure.
A formal gazette notice outlining the details of the workshop was published on November 16, ensuring that all members were aware of the forthcoming sessions.
The goal of the workshop is to ensure that all newly elected members of parliament are well-prepared to engage in parliamentary proceedings and serve effectively in their capacities.
This year’s workshop follows the inauguration of the Tenth Parliament on November 21, which brought together members elected in the 2024 General Election.
With new faces and a diverse range of political backgrounds entering the legislative body, the workshop is seen as a vital step in fostering a productive and well-informed parliament.
