UNP MP Ravi Karunanayake has requested the Secretary General of the Parliament to place on the Order Book several Private Member’s Motions. One of them is as follows;

"Ministers to be held personally responsible for all the actions of the Ministry". This motion further envisions that "if incompetence and inefficiency has led to a pecuniary loss to the detriment of the country, the Minister should be personally liable and that legal action would be instituted against him".
