The Hon. Rohitha Abegunawardhana
Rohitha Abegunawardhana requested clarification from the Government Chief Organizer regarding the list of liquor licences issued to wine stores under the previous Government, which had been tabled the previous day. He specifically asked that the names of any public representatives who recommended each licence, including in Kalutara District where more than six new licences were issued, also be tabled so that responsibility can be identified.

¶ 02 Hon. Deputy Speaker: Yes, Hon. Rohitha Abeygunawardhana?
¶ 03 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I seek a clarification from the Government Chief Organizer. I thank him and the Government for tabling yesterday the list of liquor licences issued to wine stores by the previous Government. In Kalutara District, which both of us represent, more than six new licences were issued. I request that, along with each licence-holder’s name, the name of any public representative—MP, Minister or other—who recommended it also be tabled for this august House, especially for Kalutara, and elsewhere if possible, so that all who share responsibility are identified.
