Attempt to keep media out of EPC meeting
- Saturday, 19 October 2013
The chairperson of the eastern provincial council is making an attempt to ban the media from covering the monthly meeting of the council.
The reason for her decision is the telecasting by Hiru TV about an exchange of views at an EPC meeting with regard to the 13th amendment to the constitution.
However, her attempt has met with objections by councillors.
The chairperson is also attempting to ban the bringing of mobile phones to the EPC meeting to prevent proceedings being reported to the outside.
