Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake

Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake made a brief intervention directed at the Minister, arguing that awarding a contract at a lower price (USD 15 less) is counterproductive if the supplier fails to deliver, citing Oman as an example of a supplier that did not fulfill its obligations. He contended that the resulting supply disruption would cause the public to suffer losses far greater than the savings achieved through the lower price.
