The Hon. Ajith Gihan
Ajith Gihan asked the Minister whether he is aware that the same commodities are being sold at varying prices and that substandard food and consumer goods are available in shops. He requested details on whether a programme exists to prevent unfit food and goods from entering the market, and, if not, the reasons for the absence of such measures.
