The Hon. Aravinda Senarath
Aravinda Senarath raised concerns that youths from districts including Hambantota, Moneragala, Jaffna, and Kilinochchi are being defrauded by foreign employment agencies after borrowing against land or houses to seek overseas jobs. He specifically cited an agency named “Rainbow” allegedly defrauding people of millions of rupees in Hambantota and asked whether the Ministry had identified the issue and what action had been taken.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my first supplementary is this. We appreciate the Deputy Minister’s reply. However, at present many youths—especially from difficult districts like Hambantota, Moneragala, Jaffna, and Kilinochchi—are being defrauded by agencies promising jobs abroad after taking loans against land or houses. In particular, a foreign employment agency named “Rainbow” has allegedly defrauded people of millions of rupees in districts like Hambantota. Has the Ministry identified this, and what action has been taken?
