We can't have clergymen safeguarding and discharging offenders for law violations as unforgiving as tyke ill-use and assault," Minister Senanayake said.
The clergyman further faulted the applicable powers managing ladies and kids for not doing their employment as the current figures demonstrated that assault and ill-use were just on the ascent in the island country. "72,000 cases is a high figure for Sri Lanka. I am at present surveying all the crevices in the framework and will roll out the important improvements soon," the clergyman said.
