Should freeze all imports of vehicles for next 5 years. We have enough vehicles on the roads and for sale .

What about people, who already made the advance payment to Vehicle importer and waiting for their vehicle arriving Sri Lanka in order to arrange Full Lease ? They are in trouble now as they paid advances expecting a Full Lease?

This amounts to nothing ! The best would be to remove the possibility to sell the duty free permits and selling duty free imported vehicles until 5 years is lapsed. There is big money in selling permits currently! As JVP MP pointed out the wastage in the parliament is enormous!

The CB should have made it atleast 65 orLess. Strict guides should be given to banksTo implement the rules. The CB shouldCome up with more control on the financialInstitution especially on lending maintainTight control on current account and cheques.The government just playing around with Interest Rates and exchange rate is not Going to work if they cannot have a soundSystem and control over the customs. FirstlyThe government should come upWith a fool proof duty structure for imports andImplement system to check underinvoicing And vigilance on illegal imports just this alone Surely is going to earn the country a lot of Revenue as whole rather than just a so called Influential and connected few.

It is real simple. Improve public transport,so that a significant amount of people do not need to buy vehicles. Create a manufacturing plant of good vehicles, remove bikes and trishaws that cause most of the traffic problems. Voila! you got a system just like most other road networks in the western world. Increasing taxes when people have no other choice but to buy a car to get from point A to point B is the dumbest idea. Guess what it does not work, no matter what the taxes, the richer will pay.

Slap a 50% surcharge on interest charged on vehicle leases. that would put a stop to this bubble instantly.

Instead of clamping on vehicles why not reduce the number of politicians.....

Finally eyes have opened. Still will not solve the congestion issue unless a peak hour road usage fee is introduced and public transport improved

Good move by the new government.Hope they will also limit / delay issuance of duty free permits to new MPs

The government needs to focus on improving public transport for more comfort and convenience. Simply increasing the vehicle prices but not providing an alternative comfortable way to travel is nothing short of stupidity
