The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Ravi Karunanayake sought a direct and comprehensive response to his three-part question on the Employees’ Provident Fund, saying a requested clear date had not been provided. He highlighted alleged contradictions between the President’s advisory committee position, an earlier statement by a Deputy Minister, and the IMF administrative agreement, and said 5 million EPF members were concerned about the future of the Fund.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I raised a three-part Question because otherwise there is no answer. A clear date was asked but not given. When we discuss EPF, you were on the President’s advisory committee. There’s a contradiction between the committee’s position and what a Deputy Minister earlier said here. Please give a direct answer; 5 million EPF members are fearful about what is to be done to their Fund and what comes next. There is also a contradiction with the IMF administrative agreement. We ask this for national development, not individual satisfaction. Please provide a comprehensive response.
