The Hon. Ananda Wijepala - Minister of Public Security and Parliamentary Affairs
The Minister tabled a reply stating that there are 36 horses in service, with their ages ranging from 10 to 23 years across specified categories. He said one tender had been received for a related procurement from Majestic Company Lanka (Pvt) Ltd., with an expected cost of Rs. 138,944,973.80 including taxes. As the company failed to submit the performance bond and sign the agreement, steps are being taken under Procurement Guidelines to refer the matter to the Departmental Procurement Committee for cancellation.
