Colombo: Foreigners who seek to marry Sri Lanka will need security permits from the Ministry of Defense, under new regulations greeted with ridicule and ridicule by opposition.
The new rules seen by AFP on Monday will need foreigners from next week to get clean health bills and security checks before their marriage, with the General WM WMEKARA registrar associated the “National Security” policy.
“We have seen several foreigners who want to marry Sri Lanka here with hidden motives such as being involved in drug trafficking and money laundering,” Werekekara said to the local Sunday Times newspaper.
New regulations have encouraged ridicule from opposition parliamenters who show that some of the ruling family members are double residents.
“What about security permits for foreign nationals to hold a minister’s cabinet portfolio?” Legislator Shanakiyan Rasamankam tweeted.
Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa holds US citizenship until two years ago.
After ruling, he canceled the constitutional provisions that prevented the double residents from the fighting selection.
His brother Basil, the Minister of Finance, remained a citizen of the United States and Sri Lanka.
