AG Informs Court Of Appeal Geetha Kumarasinghe Cannot Continue As Parliamentarian

The Attorney General has informed the Court of Appeal that UPFA MP Geetha Kumarasinghe cannot continue as a Parliamentarian as she has not revoked her Switzerland citizenship. 

The AG made the submission when the case relating to Kumarasinghe's MP seat was taken up today. 

Under the current law, those who have dual citizenship cannot function as Parliamentarians. 

Kumarasinghe, a popular actress, contested the last Parliamentary election from the Galle district on the UPFA ticket and secured a seat.
