Land & Housing Full speech → - Hon. T.B. Sarath - Deputy Minister of Housing JJB
AI summary On behalf of the Minister, Hon. T.B. Sarath set out the objectives of the Condominium Management Authority, including regulation and maintenance of common facilities, oversight of management corporations, protection of purchasers, removal of unauthorized constructions, insurance, utility coordination, and redevelopment or completion of stalled condominium projects. He provided a written financial breakdown of Treasury provisions and self-generated funds used for Authority functions, noting self-generated expenditure of Rs. 607.82 million from 2022 to 31 July 2025 and broader cumulative figures supplied in the response. He said proposed strengthening measures include recruiting essential staff, reactivating stalled projects, introducing legislation to address title issues in tsunami resettlement condominium properties, improving utility infrastructure, supporting a national housing policy, rehabilitating deteriorated coastal high-rises, and securing funds for urgent maintenance.
- Hon. Mujibur Rahuman SJB
AI summary Hon. Mujibur Rahuman raised concerns that common facilities and land reserved for residents in housing schemes, citing parking areas at Maligawatte flats, are allegedly being allocated to private use despite complaints. He argued that this contravenes condominium and housing laws and requested urgent action to restore such spaces to residents. He also questioned reports that the Pettah Floating Market may be handed over to an individual without a tender, despite an earlier Urban Development Authority redevelopment plan with Japanese cooperation, and asked whether the Deputy Minister was aware and whether approval was being sought.
- Hon. T.B. Sarath - Deputy Minister of Housing JJB
AI summary Hon. T.B. Sarath said certain allocations had been made through direct intervention by former Ministers rather than routine official processes, and that a special committee has been appointed to review them and pursue legal action where necessary. He stated that the spaces would be restored to the public after the review. On the Pettah Floating Market issue, he undertook to inquire into the alleged tenderless allocation and report back to the House.
