Chamara Sampath Dasanayake raised concerns over an acting appointment in the Uva Provincial Revenue Department, stating that qualified officers already exist within the Department and suggesting the appointment appeared political. He requested that a lawful appointment to the post of Provincial Commissioner of Revenue be made as soon as possible, rather than allowing an accountant from the Accountants’ Service to act while holding another post.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Officers exist within the Uva Provincial Revenue Department. Despite that, an acting appointment has been given—this appears political. Regardless, there are qualified officers in the Department; instead of appointing from among them, an accountant from the Accountants’ Service is acting while also holding another post. We request that a Provincial Commissioner of Revenue be appointed lawfully as soon as possible.
