Document yet to reach Cabinet:
The long overdue new Audit Draft Bill that will give sweeping powers to
the Auditor General to hold state officials accountable over fiscal
matters has stopped short of reaching Cabinet. The Auditor General
Gamini Wijesinghe said,
The Joint Opposition (JO) will launch a broad-based national movement
urging the people to rally against the government. It will be marked
with a four-day protest march that would commence on July 28 from Kandy
and expected to reach Colombo on August 01.
