The “Dinana Dakuna” organization has submitted a letter raising concerns over the citizenship status of Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma, Secretary to the Ministry of Finance.
In the letter, the organization calls for direct, evidence-based responses and has requested clarification on several key matters. These include the date on which Dr. Suriyapperuma obtained Australian citizenship, whether and when it was formally renounced, and the date he subsequently obtained Sri Lankan citizenship under the relevant legal provisions.
The organization has also sought clarification on whether he had officially renounced his Australian citizenship at the time he took oaths as a Member of Parliament, or if only an application for renunciation had been submitted at that stage.
Additionally, the letter questions whether the reference number C19090060828, dated February 3, 2010, which has been circulating publicly, is connected to his Australian citizenship or constitutes misleading information.
“Dinana Dakuna” has emphasized the importance of transparency and urged the Finance Ministry Secretary to provide prompt clarification supported by verifiable evidence.
