There have been abuses in the issuance of permits for expatriate workers to import electric vehicles, according to an audit report.

According to Auditor General W.P.C. Wickramaratne, discrepancies had been reported as far as over 1,000 such permits denying benefits to eligible people.

The process was introduced during the time of the last government. The Auditor General’s report had been handed over to the parliamentary authorities recently. It will be presented to the House next week.
