The Hon. Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana
Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana asked about Government support for fishers, noting that the kerosene subsidy had been provided only once in the past one and a half years. He also sought an update on the outcome of discussions following protests by fishers outside the Presidential Secretariat over permission to continue beach-seine operations using winches.
