Three Parliament staff suspended amid sexual harassment allegations

Date:

January 12, Colombo (LNW): Parliament has suspended the services of three staff members, including the assistant housekeeper of the Department of Catering and Housekeeping, following serious allegations of sexual harassment.

The suspension comes after an internal investigation conducted by a committee led by former High Court judge Kusala Sarojani Weerawardena, which thoroughly examined the claims.

The allegations, which came to light in August 2023, have raised concerns about the conduct of individuals employed within one of the country’s most prestigious institutions.

The committee’s inquiry focused on the nature of the complaints and the evidence surrounding the incident, with the final recommendations leading to the suspension of the accused staff members.

Parliament’s administration has confirmed that the decision was made in line with the committee’s findings, with the aim of maintaining the integrity of the institution and ensuring a safe working environment for all staff members.
