Three opposition MPs, Rauff Hakeem, Patali Champika Ranawaka and M.A. Sumanthiran said the persistent non-compliance of the Supreme Court Order by the controversial and allegedly corrupt visa scheme related functions by the Department of Immigration and Emigration and the Ministry of Law and Order continue to hamper tourist arrivals.
Addressing a press conference recently, they also condemned the actions of the authority’s non-compliance with the directive of the Supreme Court, thus far, which had earlier suspended the new scheme, ordering an immediate return to the former practices of the electronic travel authorisation platform operated by the government’s SLT-Mobitel.
