A | Colombo, Oct 21 (UNI) Paddy stocks worth billions of rupees in storage facilities owned by the Paddy Marketing Board (PMB) have vanished during the last decade in Sri Lanka, reports by the Auditor General have revealed.
The Island newspaper on Friday quoted a senior PMB officer as saying that about 20 per cent of total paddy stored in the last decade have disappeared.
The Auditor General has also found that the financial reports of the PMB have been consistently unreliable and that the institution has not taken a physical stock of the paddy held in their storage units.
The Auditor General’s reports state that the weight of the paddy collected from the farmers might drop while in storage due to the loss of moisture in the paddy during the storage period, damage due to insects and other reasons, the daily said.
Even after taking these factors into consideration, there was no way of explaining how about 20 per cent of the total stock vanished, an unnamed senior officer was quoted as saying.
The Auditor General’s reports have also revealed that Ministers sold the PMB paddy to their henchmen below the purchase prices.
The PMB management had not made any attempts to recover the cost over the years.
PMD Chairman Buddhika Iddamalgoda said that he had been appointed only three weeks earlier. There are 21 Auditor General’s reports on the PMD and he would go through all reports, he said.
“We have purchased paddy amounting to 810 million rupees this season. We have 7,070 tonnes and we expect to make Rs 2 billion by selling them. I agree that we need to take a physical stock of what is in our stores,” he said.
UNI MR。 职总优儿学府幼乐园为促进跨代交流推行的计划,过去十年每年平均有1万到1万2000名学生参与。幼乐园表示儿童通过不同活动,每年同约2000名年长者交流。“早上好!”一批学生每星期都会来到一家乐龄日间护理中心同年长者交流。职总优儿学府幼乐园学生陈恩浩说:“喜欢(为什么喜欢?)因为我喜欢玩那个游戏,跟阿公阿嫲我教他们。”这天的活动是宾果游戏,学生教导年长者怎么玩,长辈则教他们游戏中出现的福建动物名称。职总保健乐龄日间护理中心跨代交流计划参与者,毛润环说:“很开心,我喜欢小孩子,可爱天真活泼。跟他们讲要好好做个好孩子,要听话要勤劳读书。”跨代交流计划拉近两代的距离,当老师在活动进行一半时说当天有小朋友生日,全场马上为她庆生。全岛有159家分校的幼乐园指出在跨代交流计划下,学生每年最少有10到12次同年长者交流的机会。他们不仅从长辈的经验中学习到知识,也变得更有耐心和有同理心。职总优儿学府幼乐园总经理程爱玲说:“现在所做的一些活动上也常常会做一些更改跟一些邀请其他的工作团队的人员,或者一些机构来参与我们的工作。为小朋友讲一些历史,为小朋友说一些他们之前在新加坡的生活到底是怎么样。那种的跨代交流计划其实也很不一样,因为它是一种好像比较知识交流的。
