The Hon. Nalin Bandara Jayamaha
Asked the Minister whether staffing shortages at the newly established Blue Mandal inspection bay for expediting Customs clearance would be addressed urgently. He also sought assurance that Customs officers would be given reasonable discretion to make good-faith decisions without being deterred by fear or lengthy State approval procedures.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, you mentioned a new inspection bay established at Blue Mandal to expedite Customs clearance, and also noted staffing shortfalls. Will those shortfalls be urgently addressed? Further, will officers be given reasonable discretion so that well-intentioned decisions are not chilled by fear, given the protracted approval chains in State institutions?
