The Hon. Gayantha Karunathilleka
Gayantha Karunathilleka questioned the Government’s administrative capacity, arguing that delays in importing rice and completing a tender raise doubts about its ability to handle larger tasks. Responding to interruptions, he stated that he had already explained the tender and import process and noted that 170,000 metric tonnes of rice were currently being brought in.
