The Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education
Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya responded to a question about the financial affairs of Government MPs by stating that the JVP/NPP has maintained transparent party accounts and suggested that the SJB, UNP and SLPP should provide similar transparency on party funding and expenditure. She said individual MPs’ personal financial arrangements vary and that the matter raised had no specific relevance to Government policy.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I thank the Hon. Member for highlighting that JVP/NPP have long maintained transparent party accounts. It would be good if SJB, UNP and SLPP also present comparable transparency so the public can assess how party funds are raised and spent. As to personal financial arrangements of 159 Government-side MPs, individual circumstances differ. There is no specific Government policy relevance to the conjecture posed.
