  • 18 December 2024 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman criticised the Government’s rice import policy, arguing that import taxes have prevented consumers from receiving relief while both major mill owners and the Government benefit from high prices. He questioned the fairness of imposing a Rs. 65 per kilogram tax on imported rice amid rising hardship, malnutrition, and insufficient incomes. He urged the Minister to reduce the tax immediately rather than waiting for the next Budget, so that rice prices could be lowered for the public.

  • 18 December 2024 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman questioned the need for both private importers and Sathosa to import the same goods when a controlled price applies to all sales. He argued that since Sathosa sells at the same controlled price, allowing direct private-sector imports could avoid duplication and help address the issue more efficiently.

  • 18 December 2024 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman questioned the fairness of the Rs. 65 per kilogram tax on imported rice, arguing that it burdens consumers at a time when rice is already unaffordable and the country may need about 200,000 metric tons per month until the next harvest. He said the Government should use Parliament’s powers to reduce the tax immediately rather than wait for promised concessions, and should allow private importers to bring in rice under the controlled price. He also argued that Sathosa tenders are unnecessary and would only delay imports, risking shortages and benefiting large rice traders.

  • 18 December 2024 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman questioned the fairness of imposing a Rs. 65 per kilogram tax on imported rice while maintaining a controlled maximum retail price of Rs. 220, noting that local millers also do not sell rice at that price. He argued that previous governments had not imposed import taxes above Rs. 10 per kilogram on rice and urged the Government to reduce the tax immediately rather than waiting until April, in order to provide relief to consumers.

  • 18 December 2024 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman questioned the Government’s rice import policy and price controls, noting that imported rice costing about Rs. 150 per kilo in India becomes about Rs. 215 after taxes when landed in Sri Lanka.

  • 18 December 2024 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman said the government had acknowledged the value of private assistance to schools after previously criticizing such initiatives by the Opposition Leader. He raised concerns over high rice prices despite controlled prices, citing Nadu, Keeri Samba and Red Kekulu being sold above official rates, and said the government had been unable to regulate major rice mill owners even after several discussions. He supported the decision to import rice to ease consumer prices but questioned the implementation of the approved 70,000 metric tons import programme and whether sufficient quantities would arrive within the stated deadline.

  • 4 December 2024 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman questioned the Government’s ability to conduct credible investigations while retaining officials linked to past non-cooperation.

  • 4 December 2024 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman welcomed the new Government’s mandate and urged it to use that mandate to build a unified Sri Lankan identity while respecting diversity and rejecting racism and religious extremism, noting that past failures to do so contributed to conflict and economic setbacks. He said the Samagi Jana Balawegaya and much of the Opposition would cooperate with any programme aimed at unity within diversity. He also called for the Government to uphold the Rule of Law, raising concerns about the stalled Wasim Thajudeen case, the appointment of officials linked to alleged non-cooperation or corruption as advisers, and a reported incident involving an alleged Military Intelligence officer at a protest.
