Then he could not find his original copy<\/p>\n<p>President Sirisena told that a powerful politician of the previous regime had taken a bribe of one billion rupees to shelve the national drug policy draft Bill. But he failed to accept the fact that as a responsible minister he should have kept either a hard copy or an electronic copy of the bill he had formulated by himself.<\/p>\n<p>Then he went into say that an investigation should have been conducted to find the person responsible, but the entire nation knew under whose authority the Legal Draftsman Department functioned then taking a chance to blame former President for his sloppy work practice and said &#8220;It is no secret under whose purview that department was. The loss of the draft bill was the biggest tragedy in the country\u2019s health sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I began work on the Bill in 2010 and finished work in December 2012. Then I presented it to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa for necessary action.<\/p>\n<p>The then head of the Legal Draftsman Department Theresa Perera accepted the Bill promising that draft would be returned complete in one week. But, thereafter she retired and the draft bill disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Then I asked the officials of the Legal Draftsman\u2019s Department whether they have any information on the Bill. They said no. Then, I called the lady officer and asked whether she had any information about the Bill. She said it was in her computer and she will give it. But, I did not get any details. So, we had to reform it from the beginning. I must thank Dr. Beligaswatta, Specialist Dr. Palitha Abeykoon and all other Professors and Doctors at the Colombo University and officials of the Health Ministry and Legal Draftsman\u2019s Department
