The Hon. Kabir Hashim
Kabir Hashim objected to comments made by Hon. Samantha Ranasinghe, stating that the matter concerned the proper use of public funds rather than personal or political considerations. He argued that if an inquiry had been requested and a report existed, any alleged errors should be specifically identified under the applicable law, rather than dismissed with a general assertion that there were issues.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I regret his comments. Hon. Samantha Ranasinghe, this is not a personal or political question. Who won an election is irrelevant here. These are public funds; they must be properly used. The PS has powers. If an inquiry was requested and a report exists, show where the errors are. You cannot say “at a glance there are issues.” There is law applicable here. Your response is wrong.
