Rs.1620 million to hold 97 Parliamentary sessions
The Parliament in Sri Lanka has had only 97 sessions for the year 2016
but the expenditure incurred for the sessions is Rs. 1620 million say
reports.
Accordingly, the expenditure to hold a Parliamentary session is
Rs.16,695,884.57 reveals information released by the information office
of parliament. The total expenditure to hold sessions for 2016 is Rs.
1,619,500,803.
It is said that there are 8 departments that are involved in the
functioning of the Parliament and the monthly expenditure of the
Parliament is said to be Rs. 134,958,400.25.
Despite spending so much public money the viewers who follow
Parliamentary sessions on TV could see a lot of empty seats while
sessions are being held and much time is wasted when the Speaker has to
suspend sessions due to turmoil in Parliament.
