Establish Regulatory Authority if more casino licenses granted - Dr. Harsha

Chairman of the Committee on Public Finance, Member of Parliament Dr. Harsha De Silva stated in Parliament yesterday (06) that if more licenses are be granted to the casino business, a Regulatory Authority should be established. The MP said that it is unreasonable to ask for a two years period to establish such a Regulatory Authority.

Dr. Harsha de Silva, pointed out that the approval of the bill regulating casino business was postponed for the second time. MP de Silva stated so, making a special statement in Parliament.

“The attention of the Committee was drawn to this bill. We have asked the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance to tell us when the Casino Regulatory Authority will be established. They have said it would take two years. A license should not be given without a Regulatory Authority. ” De Silva noted.
