The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayathissa
Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayathissa stated that serious irregularities occurred after an established process was disrupted under pressure, making it difficult to quantify an overall loss at this stage. He said individual investigations are underway and that the extent of fraud and corruption will be reported for each case, with Parliament to be kept informed in due course.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, you are aware of the serious irregularities that occurred within that process. We had a system, and under certain pressures that system was broken, giving rise to these issues. Thus, it is difficult to quantify a single aggregate loss. However, once individual investigations are concluded, we can state the extent of fraud and corruption uncovered in each instance. Action is being taken accordingly. We expect to keep Parliament informed in due course.
