   • Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva SJB

     AI summary Hon. (Dr.) Harsha de Silva raised a point of order on the Committee on Public Finance report regarding CIABOC’s budget estimate, stating that the Committee had agreed to recommend amendments to the State Finance Management Act, No. 44 of 2024, to exclude CIABOC and the National Audit Office from its scope in order to protect their budgetary independence. He argued that this would prevent future governments from influencing those institutions through the Ministry of Finance. He also noted that the CIABOC Chair’s salary, previously linked to the President of the Court of Appeal, had not been adjusted after the latter’s salary increase, and said the Committee recommends aligning it with the revised Court of Appeal President’s salary from 2025/2026 onward.
