Date:

May 26, Colombo (LNW): The Parliament Committee on Public Finances (COPF) has once again postponed its inquiry into the contentious VFS Global deal concerning the new visa issuance process, citing the unavailability of key government officials, Committee Chairman, MP (Dr.) Harsha de Silva disclosed.

Silva had previously criticised officials from the Ministry of Public Security and the Department of Immigration and Emigration for failing to attend a scheduled inquiry on 14 May regarding the controversial new visa-on-arrival scheme.

He added that the rescheduled inquiry will take place on June 04, 2024.
