The Hon. Hector Appuhamy
Hon. Hector Appuhamy presented the Sectoral Oversight Committee on Environment, Agriculture and Resource Sustainability report on the Rubber Control (Amendment) Bill, which was ordered to lie upon the Table. He also raised concern that numerous reports from 2021 to 2024 contain audit queries without accompanying responses, and requested Ministers to ensure responses are submitted with such reports so Parliament can assess resolution of issues and make recommendations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I present the Report of the Sectoral Oversight Committee on Environment, Agriculture and Resource Sustainability on the Rubber Control (Amendment) Bill.
¶ 02 Ordered to lie upon the Table.
¶ 03 I also wish to note that there is a large number of reports for 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024. Often there are many audit queries in audit reports. It would be better if responses to those queries accompany the reports so that we know whether issues have been resolved. Otherwise, merely submitting reports to Parliament yields no effective outcome regarding audit matters. I particularly request Hon. Ministers to ensure that responses accompany such reports so we can discuss and make recommendations.
