The Hon. T. B. Sarath
T. B. Sarath stated that the Government intends to recover State losses arising from past allocations of State property that had received Cabinet and parliamentary approval. He said further allocations have been stopped, noting that of 76 units requested, 26 had been granted and the remainder halted, and that future action would proceed through lawful policy decisions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 We will recover the State’s losses. Our new Government must take policy decisions to reclaim these, because they were given with Cabinet and even this House’s approvals at the time—effectively legalising theft of State property. We have now stopped further such allocations—76 units were requested; 26 given; the rest have been halted. We will proceed lawfully.
¶ 02 Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairperson.
