The Hon. K. Sujith Sanjaya Perera
K. Sujith Sanjaya Perera raised concern over reported plans to move the Seethawaka Division ASP’s office from Avissawella Headquarters Police to Dehiovita. He said the relocation would require paying about Rs. 2 million per month in rent, contradicting the Government’s stated cost-cutting efforts, and requested that the move be stopped immediately.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please allow me 20 seconds; I have just one more point.
¶ 02 As we have learned, the ASP in the Seethawaka Division and his office were also functioning at the Avissawella Headquarters Police. Now we hear there are plans to shift that office to Dehiovita as well. If so, we are told a rent of about Rs. 2 million per month would have to be paid. The Government keeps saying it is cutting costs and reducing waste. But because of this move, police expenses have doubled. Around Rs. 2 million a month will be paid as rent for the new building. Therefore, I request that this move be stopped immediately. Thank you.
