The Hon. T.K. Jayasundara
Hon. T.K. Jayasundara said he was satisfied with the response but raised concerns that the President’s Fund, despite high public expectations, had disproportionately benefited privileged persons and political associates. He asked whether a disciplined process would be established to prevent future misuse and what action would be taken regarding past unethical or unlawful disbursements, referring to information and documents recently tabled in Parliament.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I am satisfied with the response. The President’s Fund is an institution of high public expectation, but benefits have largely gone to those with privilege, to political associates and acquaintances. Information was tabled recently. Even the Chief Government Whip tabled a document. Will you establish a disciplined process to prevent misuse hereafter, and what actions are being taken regarding unethical or unlawful disbursements in the past?
