The Hon. Bimal Rathnayake
Bimal Rathnayake stated that factors including the economic crisis, fraud and corruption, delays, exchange rate fluctuations, design issues, and contractor delays had created additional fiscal burdens. He said these could be quantified separately and offered to compile and present such an analysis, possibly during the next Budget.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Yes. The economic crisis, fraud and corruption, delays, exchange rate fluctuations, design-related issues, and some contractor delays—all added fiscal burdens. These can be calculated separately; we have discussed them. It is a separate exercise. If you wish, we can compile such an analysis and present it, for example, at the time of the next Budget.
