Ajith P. Perera urged the Minister to establish a dedicated special task force or unit to handle the programme, arguing that existing officers have other duties and cannot effectively manage additional appeals and grievances. He said that, with such a mechanism and the Minister’s in-principle agreement, the entire programme could be completed within one to two years.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, the main problem is that there is no special unit for this work. A task force is sometimes seen as too much, but I urge you to establish a special task force. I thank you for agreeing in principle. With that, within one to two years we can complete the whole programme. Please pay special attention. Existing officers have other duties; if they are burdened with appeals and grievances, this work will stall.
