Namal Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP and the son of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, expressed serious reservations about the ongoing attempts to privatize State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) that are currently generating profits.
“While it may be understandable to consider privatizing loss-making entities in order to transform them into profitable businesses, privatizing SOEs that are already making profits is a matter of great concern,” Namal Rajapaksa said
“If a decision has been made to privatize profitable SOEs, it is essential to understand the rationale behind such a decision,” he further added.
