The Hon. Major General (Rtd.) G.D. Sooriyabandara
Hon. Major General (Rtd.) G.D. Sooriyabandara requested the Ministry of Finance to intervene in grievances involving disabled tri-forces personnel, police, Civil Security Force members, and some public and semi-government employees regarding loan or instalment arrangements linked to SDB. He noted that legal action and protests had occurred, with concerns that consent under Form 238 of the Financial Regulations had not been obtained for extending instalments, and urged mediation to secure a fair solution.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will not raise supplementaries, but propose that the Ministry intervenes. Disabled tri-forces personnel, police and Civil Security Force members—and even public and semi-government employees under other schemes—have grievances; legal action has been filed and protests held. Some say consent (Form 238 under the Financial Regulations) for extending instalments was not obtained. I request the Ministry of Finance to mediate and ensure a fair solution, as these issues appear peculiar to SDB.
