The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Chaminda Wijesiri questioned the Prime Minister on alleged fraud and irregularities involving salt, onions, sugar SCL reductions, and the release of uninspected containers under the Government. He asked whether, while pursuing past frauds, the Prime Minister and NPP Government would take decisive action to punish wrongdoing in the cases he cited.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Prime Minister, the salt matter is linked to the earlier onion fraud. You also said sugar SCL was reduced to 25 cents per kg; however, your Government released hundreds of containers without inspection—there are reports on what they contained. While you pursue past frauds, on the examples I cited, as Leader of the NPP Government, will you act decisively to punish wrongdoing?
