The Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha
Permits are currently temporarily suspended, and the Ministry of Finance has not taken any decision to resume them. Dr. Anil Jayantha stated that decisions made by the previous government do not bind the current administration, which he said will manage public finance independently while stabilizing the economy.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I answered exactly what was asked. Permits are temporarily suspended. We do not know with whom you discussed in the past. As of now, the Ministry of Finance has taken no decision; it remains suspended. Decisions taken during your government do not bind us. Moreover, we cannot manage public finance as the Opposition dictates. We are stabilizing a stalled economy; decisions will be taken properly. Do not tell us what you should have done then.
¶ 02 I have provided clear figures. This activity is temporarily suspended. That is all.
