The Hon. Rauff Hakeem, Attorney-at-Law
Rauff Hakeem objected to the appointment of a committee member involved in an allegedly wrongful and unscientific decision as Acting Chief Epidemiologist. He urged the Ministry of Health to avoid appointing such individuals and to conduct a departmental inquiry, with penalties for those found responsible.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Before the Leader of the House speaks, I wish to add one point. Hon. (Dr.) Nihal Abeysinghe, thank you for what you said. However, a member of that same committee has now been appointed Acting Chief Epidemiologist. Despite their role in that wrongful, unscientific decision, you have appointed him. I request that you do not appoint such people. At least conduct a departmental inquiry; the Ministry of Health must do so and penalize those responsible. That is what we ask.
