The government is determined to launch the proposed e-motoring system within this year overcoming resistance from certain bureaucrats.

Cabinet Spokesperson and Minister of Transport and Highways and Minister of Mass Media Bandula Gunawardana revealed that the Cabinet of Ministers has recently approved a resolution to fast-track the project in order to launch it within this year.

The proposed e-motoring system which has been in the making for over a decade is expected to simplify vehicle registrations and minimise corruption and fraudulent activities.

Once the proposed e-motoring system is in place, it will connect vehicle owners, insurance companies, leasing companies and related state departments such as the Customs and import and export agents online, allowing all vehicle registrations to be conducted online.

However, the Minister noted that certain bureaucrats have been purposely delaying the project in order to continue to benefit from the red-tape. He stressed that the government is determined to launch the project within this year, as it remains the only solution to put an end to corrupt practices while ensuring a more efficient and high quality service to the public.

By implementing such good systems, this government is day by day bringing down the earning potential of the ‘poor-rich’ man who depend on a ‘something’ to send their kids for better education overseas etc. let them also earn a quick buck(tax free) . First you force tax files on all people, now implementing systems! This is not the ‘system change’ many aspired a year back! The change they wanted was to get some subversive elements to run the country!

How can we progress without automating and improving efficiency ? how much time and energy wasted in old systems ? in every developed country this is the system .under one roof testing and issuance of registration card is done in minutes not like wasting time of going to multiple places . All are linked to one system ,from fines to insurance .why our people still thinking backward.Not only this every other sector should be automated .

Will these things ever come to pass? Will it like the VW factory? We will wait and see. There are poor people dying in hunger in remote areas without food and employment opportunities. No doctors and medicines in hospitals and children suffering from malnutrition. First thing is to provide all necessary basic amenities to sustain the lives of the citizens in the country.

Certain automating matter can be done with just a quick gazette but politicians also does not want to do them. For example you can issue a gazette saying eco test certificate will be considered as revenue license as well and no more revenue license documents will be issued. Revenue fee will be added to green certificate and Papers saved and government can get the revenue fee credited to its account via green test companies. Such a simple thing. Then take traffic fine collection method. You can allow payments online and also py via supermarkets and mobile apps.

from when did our politicians start listing to bureaucrats, lame excuse. You are in power, just go ahead and implement it, slowly everyone will start accepting it, as they have no choice.

Strange that some Parliamentarians are talking of minimising corruption and fraud as if only the Bureaucrats were indulging in it and they are clean. Who has made the country bankrupt ?

M/s Jayantha and Malik! Both of you haven some wonderful suggestions to minimize paper work and red tape. We know that this administration is keeping a finger on the pulse of the nation, and they read these suggestion. I will not be surprised if these are implemented fast. So much the better.

Replying to @Fact. Haven’t you ever come across sarcasm? My whole comment was full of sarcasm. Of course I appreciate what is being done! The poor man is the public service who are corrupt to the core! Subversive elements are those compass who want to come into power and those who shouted for systems change are the rowdy aragalay people who don’t know about proper systems!
