The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Asked that the Ministerial Consultative Committee on Transport, Highways and Urban Development take up the matter, noting that the relevant data is available. He sought details on investigations into an alleged Rs. 380 million duplicate payment at the Road Development Authority and an audit query citing Rs. 4,614 million in unpaid expressway exit charges, including the current factual position and verification process for payments made through the Bank of Ceylon.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 It can be taken up through the Ministerial Consultative Committee on Transport, Highways and Urban Development, since the data exists.
¶ 02 Hon. Minister, my second supplementary is this: Recently, there was an allegation of a Rs. 380 million duplicate payment at the RDA. Also, there is an audit query about Rs. 4,614 million where vehicles entered expressways but did not pay upon exit; the gap is cited in the Audit Report as Rs. 4,614 million. What investigations are underway on these two matters? There is no verification process for the second matter; payments were through the Bank of Ceylon. What is the present factual position?
