The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake asked the Minister to investigate an alleged fraud involving funds for a Children and Women protection centre. He cited claims that Rs. 49.8 million had been received for tenders and procurements, but only about Rs. 12 million worth of goods had been purchased, leaving around Rs. 35 million unaccounted for, and referred to alleged involvement of senior police officers while requesting that the matter be ascertained and acted upon.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my second supplementary question is this.
¶ 02 Funds were indeed received, Hon. Minister. It is said a major fraud has taken place. DIG Renuka Jayasundara and another Senior Superintendent are allegedly involved. Perhaps even the IGP is unaware; maybe you were not informed. Please investigate. There is talk of a Rs. 49.8 million receipt, tenders, and procurements, but only about Rs. 12 million worth of goods purchased, leaving about Rs. 35 million in question. This may or may not be so — but please ascertain and act, because this is a Children and Women protection centre and funds are meant for children.
