Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

(1)

The OIT Board may, whenever it considers necessary, invite experts to any meeting of the OIT Board, who have expertise on any subject which is dealt with by the OIT Board at such meeting, for the purpose of obtaining their views on such subject matter for the effective discharge of the functions of the OIT:

Provided however, the OIT Board shall have the absolute discretion of accepting or rejecting the views of such experts.

(2)

The experts shall have no voting rights.

(3)

The experts may be paid such honorarium as may be determined by the OIT Board for attending the meetings of the OIT Board.

(4)

Every expert invited by the OIT Board shall, prior to being engaged by the OIT Board, make a declaration required by section 124 and keep confidential all matters discussed by the OIT Board and any other information acquired by such expert in terms of his engagement with the OIT. Every such expert shall also make a declaration that he has no financial or other interest in the affairs of the OIT as specified in subsection (1) of section 106.
