Just reproducing. Good if someone can check this."THIS IS A COMPLETE MISINTERPRETATION AND A CASE OF MISLEADING THE PUBLIC:Another criticism being made is that while the 19th Amendment brought companies in which the government owns more than 50% of the shares within the ambit of the Auditor General, the 20A seeks to abolish that provision. To be sure, the 19th Amendment has included under Article 154(1) “business and other undertakings vested in the Government in which the Government or a public corporation or local authority holds fifty per centum or more of the shares”. The 20A replaces this with the more general phrase “business and other undertakings vested in the Government”. Some members of the government audit service even went to see the Ven. Mahanayake Theras and complained that all the companies in which the government owns more than 50% of the shares were to be taken out of the ambit of the Auditor General. That too is a false assertion. Companies in which the government owns more than 50% of the shares refer to business undertakings like Lake House and Lanka Mineral Sands Ltd. The Auditor-General did audit the accounts of such companies even in the pre-19th Amendment era.However, both before and after the 19th Amendment, it was not mandatory for any business undertaking in which the government-held shares over 50% to use the services of the Auditor General. Article 154 (2) of the Constitution as introduced by the 19th Amendment reads as follows:“154 (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Article, the Minister in charge of any such public corporation, business or other undertaking or a company referred to in paragraph (1) may, with the concurrence of the Minister in charge of the subject of Finance and in consultation with the Auditor-General, appoint a qualified auditor or auditors to audit the accounts of such public corporation, business or other undertaking or a company referred to in paragraph (1). Where such appointment has been made by the Minister, the Auditor General may, in writing, inform such auditor or auditors that he proposes to utilize his or their services for the performance and discharge of the Auditor-General’s duties and functions in relation to such public corporation, business or other undertaking or a company referred to in paragraph (1) and thereupon such auditor or auditors shall act under the direction and control of the Auditor-General.”Before the 19th Amendment, the old Article 154(2) read as follows:“154 (2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Article, the Minister in charge of any such public corporation or business or other undertakings may, with the concurrence of the Minister in charge of the subject of Finance, and in consultation with the Auditor-General, appoint a qualified auditor or auditors to audit the accounts of such public corporation or business or other undertakings. Where such appointment has been made by the Minister, the Auditor-General may, in writing, inform such auditor or auditors that he proposes to utilize his or their services for the performance and discharge of the Auditor-General’s duties and functions in relation to such public corporation, business or other undertaking and thereupon such auditor or auditors shall act under the direction and control of the Auditor-General.”Readers will note that the contents of the two provisions are identical. Both before and after the 19th Amendment, the Minister in charge of the subject may appoint an audit firm to audit the accounts of a government-owned company. In doing so, he is required to obtain the concurrence of the Minister of finance and to consult the Auditor General. After an audit company has been appointed to audit the accounts of a mostly government-owned company, the Auditor General can write to that Audit company and make them perform their duties under the direction of the Auditor General. Nothing has changed in this regard before and after the 19th Amendment. So if anyone claims that the 20th Amendment seeks to take companies in which the government owns more than 50% of the shares out of the ambit of the Auditor General, that’s a complete falsehood"."නෑ එහෙම නෙමෙයිනේ ? ඕක එහෙම නෙමෙයි කියල තේරුම් ගන්න උඹ තොත්ත බබෙක් නෙමෙයිනේ ආ එහෙනම් ගෝටට කරන්න තියෙන්නේ මේ මිනිස්සුන්  මම ගැන හරියට හිතන්නේ නෑ කියල ඇඟිල්ල පුකේ ගහන් කිසි දෙයක් නොකර ඉන්න...ඊට පස්සේ මෙන්න මෙහෙම ලප කුමාරව දූෂන විරොදී කමිටුවට දාන්න <img src="https://scontent.fcbr1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/120164503_393303972072154_951318281943062565_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=tMyRs50BbH8AX8f23Bk&_nc_ht=scontent.fcbr1-1.fna&oh=8af94ece1d8b17d71274dbf8933b2cec&oe=5F924FF8" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 677px" /></blockquote>
