- 11 September 2025 AI summary Mujibur Rahuman raised concerns over the January 2025 release of 309 Customs containers, citing a President-appointed committee report that said red- and yellow-labeled containers were released without scanning or physical inspection and that congestion had been artificially created. He questioned a Police statement that two containers suspected of containing methamphetamine were not among the 309, arguing that Customs had not yet identified the contents despite earlier complaints to the CID and Bribery Commission. He called for immediate investigations into who imported the containers, what they contained, and for the findings to be tabled in Parliament, while also questioning the appointment of a Customs official named in the report as Director General.

He said the motion was politically relevant in light of issues being raised about the Deputy Minister’s role concerning the Easter bombings, and contended that blocking it was a political decision despite the Government’s parliamentary majority.

- 21 August 2025 AI summary Mujibur Rahman argued that the rise in Customs revenue reflected steep import tax increases rather than economic growth, with high vehicle and essential-goods duties being passed on to consumers and reducing purchasing power. He cited sharp increases in prices of common cars, vans, motorcycles, rice, salt, and wheat flour, and said poverty had risen as a result. He questioned the Government’s handling of vehicle import controls, including BYD releases, used vehicles stuck at Hambantota, demurrage costs, and a Gazette validating Bureau Veritas certificates retrospectively, and called for equal conditional release arrangements for small importers. He alleged selective facilitation in import and tender decisions and warned that higher Customs revenue ultimately comes from the public.
