The Hon. (Ms.) Ambika Samivel
Hon. Ambika Samivel questioned the Government on the administration of a government-established foundation named after a particular family, alleging that it promotes a family political legacy in the upcountry. She raised concerns about appointments linked to CWC affiliation and family representation, inadequate auditing, salaried personnel despite limited operations, and asked what measures the Government has taken to address these issues.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary:
¶ 02 This Foundation, though a government-established and recognized institution, has been named after a particular family to carry forward a family political legacy. In the upcountry, institutions, programmes, and training centres have been named after that family; even for membership of the governing board, CWC affiliation and family representation have been conditions. Moreover, the Foundation has not been subjected to proper audits, while many draw salaries and operations remain minimal. What measures has the Government taken regarding this?
