The Hon. Hesha Withanage Ankumbura Arachchi
Hon. Hesha Withanage Ankumbura Arachchi raised concerns about unresolved inter-agency financial settlements, citing SriLankan Airlines’ dues to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation as an example of broader weaknesses in inter-institutional transaction processes. He asked the Deputy Minister to provide a timeframe and outline the Government’s programme for settling such outstanding liabilities, warning that delays across successive terms would harm the country.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, thank you for the comprehensive answer. Similar inter-agency settlement issues exist elsewhere as well, for example SriLankan Airlines’ dues to the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. Poor processes for inter-institutional transactions push problems down the road. As a responsible Government one year in office, can you commit to a time frame to conclude this? Otherwise, if this drags across terms, the country suffers. What programme are you implementing to settle such outstanding issues?
