In a statement dated December 13, 2024, the Parliament media unit expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and confirmed that the error has been corrected.
Additionally, the Parliament of Sri Lanka stated that efforts are underway to re-check and update the information of all Members of Parliament on the official website.
