The Hon. Rauff Hakeem, Attorney-at-Law
Rauff Hakeem criticized the previous administration’s handling of Muslim COVID-19 burial issues, citing an attempt to send Janazahs to the Maldives for burial. He asked whether the Government would conduct an administrative inquiry and take action against officials involved in those decisions who remain in responsible positions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Also, Sir, the then President contacted the President of the Maldives wanting to send our "Janazahs" to the Maldives for burial! Such stupid decisions were made by the then administration and some stupid officials, who are now holding responsible positions in Government, have gone unpunished. At least, an administrative inquiry has to be conducted against them. That is what we are asking for and will the Government take action in that regard?
