The Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri
Hon. Chaminda Wijesiri questioned the Minister regarding alleged losses and commissions linked to a white onion fraud, arguing that arbitrary pricing decisions may have enabled such commissions. He asked whether investigations had identified those who received commissions and whether any political authority was directly connected to the matter.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, if you and the Minister listen, you will understand. Hon. Minister, before I ask, please don’t jump in with an answer. That becomes improper. Allow me to ask.
¶ 02 The loss is calculated in that way. There were also discussions about commissions in the past. You, Hon. Minister, spoke a lot about commissions. Such commissions happen through arbitrary price decisions. In this white onion fraud, has it been revealed who took such commissions, if any? Is there a direct political authority connected to this? I wish to know.
