The Hon. Rauff Hakeem, Attorney-at-Law
Hon. Rauff Hakeem requested the Minister of Industries to reconsider the financial assistance provided to small businesses in districts including Trincomalee, Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura. He argued that the Rs. 200,000 allocation is insufficient and proposed increasing the initial bulk disbursement to help businesses restart operations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, since this concerns the Minister of Industries: in Trincomalee, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura and several other districts, Rs. 200,000 for small businesses is insufficient. Please consider at least increasing the initial tranche to restart operations—raise the first bulk disbursement so they can get going.
