Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary: Typically, those appointed as Provincial Commissioners of Revenue are experienced officers from the Inland Revenue Department. In Uva, however, an officer from the Accountants’ Service has been appointed. You say it is temporary pending proper recruitment. I request that since there is a vacancy now, and qualified permanent officers in the Department and Provincial Council have applied and even gone to court, you proceed to Gazette and make a proper appointment expeditiously.
