The Hon. Rauff Hakeem, Attorney-at-Law
Rauff Hakeem cited Section 11(e) of the Office on Missing Persons Act, noting that it empowers the OMP to establish committees, divisions, and units and delegate functions to them. He urged that these committees be appointed, stressing that the matter has international significance.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Under Section 11(e), the OMP has powers. I quote:
¶ 02 “(e) to establish from time to time, and in addition to those Units and Divisions specifically mentioned in this Act, such Committees and/or Divisions and/or Units as are required for the effective administration and functioning of the OMP, and shall also have the power to delegate such powers and functions as are necessary to such Committees, Divisions and Units.”
¶ 03 Please get these committees appointed. This is an international issue today.
