The Hon. Sunil Handunnetti
Hon. Sunil Handunnetti clarified that the Budget proposal for the Treasury to assume certain statutory liabilities of state enterprises, such as gratuity and legacy obligations, is intended to relieve their financial burden. He emphasized that this measure should not be interpreted as a plan to close those enterprises and urged members to read the relevant section of the Budget carefully.
