The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayathissa
Concerns were raised that vaccines had been procured at prices higher than international market rates, with the matter linked to earlier issues in PCR and antigen test procurement. It was stated that the Government, in office for one month, would investigate the procurement process and inform Parliament of any fraud or corruption identified.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Yes, an issue arises here. We purchased vaccines at prices above those available in the international market. This appears part of the same problematic process seen with PCR and antigen test procurement. We have been in office for one month. We will investigate and keep Parliament informed of any fraud and corruption found.
