The Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana
Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana referred to earlier container congestion and an alleged large-scale fraud involving 320 containers, noting that a report led by the President had been presented to Parliament. He asked whether the report’s recommendations are being implemented and whether those responsible are being prosecuted, in the context of the Government’s mandate to address theft and corruption.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, thank you for the response. The question arose due to the container congestion a few months back. This Government was elected with a mandate to combat theft and corruption. A large-scale fraud occurred in relation to 320 containers. A report was prepared under the leadership of the President and presented to Parliament by our colleague, Hon. Mujibur Rahuman. My supplementary: are the recommendations being implemented, and are those responsible being prosecuted?
