The process to enable e-payments for traffic offences has been launched in Sri Lanka.

The online process was launched under the aegis of Justice Minister Ali Sabry, Transport Minister Pavithra Wanniarchchi, State Minister of Digital Technology Namal Rajapaksa, and Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekara.

Coordinating Secretary to the Ministry of Justice Shamir Zavahir said the laws necessary to enable online payments and the required infrastructure are being finalized.

He further said the new online process will prevent visits to the Post office as well as confiscated licences, which is the regular process followed at present.

Commenting on the launch, Minister Namal Rajapaksa said the Sri Lanka Police render a great service to the public, and uphold law and order in the country.

He further said the digitalization of their services is under way in order to create a more efficient service to the public.

“The Transport Minister along with the Sri Lanka Police will introduce spot fining from January 2022 as the first step,” Minister Rajapaksa announced
