Speaker Karu Jayasuriya adjourned Parliament for ten minutes following a tense situation that erupted after UPFA MP Dinesh Gunawardena made repeated attempts to question Central Bank of Sri Lanka officer transfers.

Jayasuriya said that he will give a different time for Gunawardena to speak on the issue. However, Gunawardena repeatedly demanded to speak.

Dr. Sarath Amunugama spoke during the debate, pointing out that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, who was in the house following his return from Japan, could answer these questions directly.
