Speaker instructs full supervision of food supply to parliament

Speaker Karu Jayasuriya directed the relevant officials to conduct a full supervision of the process of food supply to the parliament.

Reportedly, he had given these instructions based on a statement made by President Maithripala Sirisena recently.

As soon as he was appointed Speaker Jayasuriya instructed on minimum wastage on process of food supply to the parliament and this has reduced the costs by a considerable amount, points out the Speaker’s Office.
