Colombo (LNW): The Parliamentary Business Committee is set to take a decision pertaining to the debate on the no-confidence motion against Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella.

The Parliamentary Business Committee is scheduled to meet on Friday (11) at 10.30 am, according to reports.

The no-confidence motion against Rambukwella over the allegation of irresponsible importation of ‘substandard’ medicines and surgical equipment leading to a weakened health sector in the country was handed over to Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena by Secretary General of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Ranjith Madduma Banndara and MP Kavinda Jayaeardena last month, with the signatures of 45 MPs.

The recent events in the Sri Lankan Health Sector have revealed complications among patients and even deaths, due to what it was speculated by the Opposition, civil unions and a number of concerned parties as ‘substandard’ medicines and surgical equipment.
