The Hon. Amila Prasad
Hon. Amila Prasad raised concerns that certain vacancies remain unfilled and questioned the performance of state enterprises. He cited reported declines in profits and dividends of institutions under the President during the first six months of the year and referred to remarks made by a Deputy Minister alleging mismanagement of state enterprises.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Those vacancies have not been filled; that is what I wanted to say, DOB.
¶ 02 Next, profits of state enterprises. Yesterday a Deputy Minister made a big statement. I saw it. He said, “When people who don’t know business and those whose livelihood is theft run state enterprises, they get destroyed.” Next, I found an article on economics which stated that in the first six months of this year, the profits of institutions under the President fell by 17.5 per cent and dividends by 21.8 per cent. What does this say?
¶ 03 [Expunged on the order of the Chair.]
¶ 04 A Deputy Minister—Chathuranga Abeysinghe—said, “Your Leader is a thief. When people who don’t know business and those whose livelihood is theft run state enterprises, they are destroyed.”
