A | Colombo, Oct 21 (UNI) Paddy stocks worth billions of rupees in storage facilities owned by the Paddy Marketing Board (PMB) have vanished during the last decade in Sri Lanka, reports by the Auditor General have revealed.
The Island newspaper on Friday quoted a senior PMB officer as saying that about 20 per cent of total paddy stored in the last decade have disappeared.
The Auditor General has also found that the financial reports of the PMB have been consistently unreliable and that the institution has not taken a physical stock of the paddy held in their storage units.
The Auditor General’s reports state that the weight of the paddy collected from the farmers might drop while in storage due to the loss of moisture in the paddy during the storage period, damage due to insects and other reasons, the daily said.
Even after taking these factors into consideration, there was no way of explaining how about 20 per cent of the total stock vanished, an unnamed senior officer was quoted as saying.
The Auditor General’s reports have also revealed that Ministers sold the PMB paddy to their henchmen below the purchase prices.
The PMB management had not made any attempts to recover the cost over the years.
PMD Chairman Buddhika Iddamalgoda said that he had been appointed only three weeks earlier. There are 21 Auditor General’s reports on the PMD and he would go through all reports, he said.
“We have purchased paddy amounting to 810 million rupees this season. We have 7,070 tonnes and we expect to make Rs 2 billion by selling them. I agree that we need to take a physical stock of what is in our stores,” he said.
UNI MR。 제주 실종사건 허위 종결 사태를 계기로 경찰이 최근 3년간 종결된 실종사건 전수점검에 나선 데 이어, '비대면 사건 종결'을 원칙적으로 금지했습니다.경찰청은 이같은 내용을 담은 '실종수사팀 운영 쇄신안'을 마련해 행정안전부에 보고했습니다.경찰은 최근 3년간 종결된 실종사건 약 31만 건 가운데 비대면 종결 등 허위 종결 가능성이 있는 사건을 추려 실종자의 안전 여부와 사건 처리의 적정성을 다시 확인하고 있습니다.부실 처리가 의심되면 즉시 재수사에 착수하고, 시도경찰청도 매주 관할 경찰서의 종결 사건을 점검하도록 했습니다.또 전화 통화 등으로 안전을 확인하는 '비대면 종결'은 원칙적으로 금지하고, 실종자가 경찰관 대면을 거부할 경우에는 행정복지센터나 소방 등의 협조를 받아 직접 안전을 확인하기로 했습니다.경찰서 형사과장 등 관리자는 실종자 대면 여부와 신원 확인 경위 등을 검토한 뒤 직접 사건 종결을 승인해야 합니다.경찰은 또 야간에 한 명만 근무하는 실종전담팀이 많은 만큼, 야간과 휴일에도 2명 이상이 근무하도록 인력과 수사 체계를 재정비할 방침입니다.。
