The Hon. Anura Kumara Dissanayaka
Hon. Anura Kumara Dissanayaka acknowledged that there were shortcomings in the process for allocating funds to MPs after the Budget and said he would correct them. He explained that district allocations were intended to allow every MP to submit proposals, but the process functioned unevenly across districts, and he undertook to ensure the problem does not recur next year.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 If such issues occurred, I will correct them. I accept that.
¶ 02 When presenting the Budget, our expectation was that every MP would receive allocations. I stated this when presenting the Budget. After passing the district allocations, every MP in the district should have submitted proposals accordingly. I have been informed that in some places this process broke down; in others, it worked. Next year that will not happen; I will ensure it.
