By: Isuru Parakrama

December 05, Colombo (LNW): The government has presented a vote on account to Parliament a short while ago, seeking approval for an expenditure of Rs. 1,403 billion (Rs. 1,402,886,263,000) to cover the period from January 01 to April 30, 2025.

The proposal, which was formally introduced by Deputy Minister of Economic Development Anil Jayantha, aims to secure the necessary funds for essential public services and ongoing government projects during the first four months of the year.

The vote on account is a critical financial measure, allowing the government to continue operations smoothly until the full national Budget is finalised and approved.

It covers a wide array of expenditures, from recurrent government spending to the allocation for development projects and services that the public relies on.

Deputy Minister Jayantha presented the request to Parliament earlier today, noting that the funds would be essential in ensuring that the government meets its financial obligations and maintains stability during the early months of 2025.

The Parliamentary debate on the Vote on Account is currently ongoing.
