The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake questioned whether vehicle permits already issued would be honoured and whether vehicles could be imported under them. He argued that public officers need proper facilities to perform their duties and noted that successive governments have issued such permits. He rejected blame being placed on the Opposition and directed the question to the Deputy Minister for a clear decision.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Whoever issued them, the permits exist. Will vehicles be allowed under them or not? Do not blame me. You are the Deputy Minister now; we must ask you questions. Will you permit this or not?
¶ 02 Public officers run this country. If they are not properly facilitated, how will you get work done? Every government has issued these permits; that is why we request now. Do not blame us as if we govern. The Minister blames us.
