  • 7 March 2025 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahman argued that Colombo’s post-2010 resettlement into high-rise housing was poorly planned, disrupted livelihoods, and has left the Government bearing major repair costs, while valuable urban land was freed for commercial development. He urged future housing policy to use mixed-income models, provide affordable units specifically for Colombo renters and lower-income families, and prevent the Urban Development Authority from functioning primarily as a developer for higher-income buyers. He called on the Minister to cancel allegedly irregular allocations and leases of Housing Ministry and NHDA properties made without tender, including common facilities in housing schemes, and questioned whether the proposed Rs. 1 million-per-family housing assistance across GN divisions is adequate. He also raised concern over Colombo Port competitiveness in light of the West Container Terminal arrangement with Adani and the development of Vizhinjam Port in India.

  • 6 March 2025 AI summary Mujibur Rahman criticized the conduct of debate around health-sector trade union action, urging the Government to avoid personal or “Rajapaksa-style” political attacks and to address underlying salary and service issues. He called for a formal Ministry investigation into the death of three-year-old Hamdi Fasleem following surgery at Lady Ridgeway Hospital, citing medical records, alleged contradictions in doctors’ statements, and unanswered requests to former Health Ministers. He also disputed official claims about nurses’ basic pay and promotion structures, requested review of alleged overpricing in 2022–2023 medical procurements, and urged accountability for companies and officials involved. On mass media, he asked the Government to repeal the Online Safety Act immediately and consult stakeholders before introducing any replacement legislation.

  • 1 March 2025 AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman urged the Minister of Justice to intervene to withdraw what he described as politically motivated cases against Aragalaya activists and trade union leaders, noting ongoing summonses and practical consequences such as difficulty obtaining police clearance. He also called for the withdrawal or conclusion of allegedly baseless Easter Sunday-related cases, citing the detention and prosecution of figures including Hijaaz Hisbullah and Hon. Rishad Bathiudeen. While acknowledging progress in some corruption-related cases, he asked for faster action on matters such as the VFS deal and passport issuance allegations. He further raised concerns about the handling of a proposed impeachment of the President of the Court of Appeal, arguing that any action affecting judicial independence should follow proper parliamentary due process.
