A digital platform to connect the public with the National Council Sub Committee on Economic Stabilization of Parliament was launched yesterday (08) at the Parliament. A portal developed by the Parliamentary Information Systems and Management Department aimed at enhancing and encouraging the communication, especially between the younger citizens and the legislature.

The web portal was officially launched by the chairperson of National Council Sub Committee on Economic Stabilization Hon. Patali Champika Ranawake and the Director of the Department of Information Systems and Management (DISM) Mr. Mahesh Perera.

The Director of the Department Mr. Mahesh Perera explained to the media that the project will swing in to full action in four steps. Once completed the users can engage with the Parliamentary Committee by perusing all the documents and publications by the committee as well as returning their comments and suggestions after registering themselves on the portal.

The Parliamentary Web interface does not require any third-party application to connect, and all users can simply access the page via the web. The designing and implementation of the web was done solely by the Department of Information Systems and Management of the Parliament free of charge.
