The Hon. Arun Hemachandra
Over 400 complaints have been received against the agency, with investigations by the SLBFE and referrals to the Police and CID. Eleven warrants have been issued against the agency’s proprietor/licensee, and another warrant against the spouse linked to a separately registered “Rainbow” agency. Approximately Rs. 460 million in alleged fraud has been identified, and while some relief has been obtained for complainants, legal action by the SLBFE, Police, and relevant authorities is continuing.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, this is a very important question. We have received over 400 complaints regarding that agency. The SLBFE is investigating many complaints; some have been referred to the Police and the CID. At present, 11 warrants have been issued against the proprietor/licensee of the agency. Also, another agency has been registered under the name “Rainbow” in the spouse’s name; a warrant has been issued against her as well. I personally intervened in this matter. Even on public holidays, groups came and lodged complaints. So far, approximately Rs. 460 million in fraud is indicated. In some instances we intervened to obtain some relief for complainants, but the issue is not fully resolved. The SLBFE, the Police and other relevant institutions are taking due legal action.
