The Hon. Lasith Bhashana Gamage
Lasith Bhashana Gamage questioned delays and stalled urban development projects in Gampaha, citing the Makewita Nelum Wila Walkway and Siyatha Park promenade despite significant expenditure. He asked why the proposed expressway entrance affecting Siyatha Park had not been assessed before work began, and specifically sought an explanation for the delayed completion of the Gampaha Public Market Complex, begun in 2021 and now reportedly postponed to August of the following year.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, two examples—the Makewita Nelum Wila Walkway and the Gampaha Siyatha Park promenade—are stalled mid-way despite substantial expenditure. For Siyatha Park, the stated reason for abandoning works was a proposed expressway entrance; should this not have been assessed before starting? My question is specifically about the Gampaha Public Market Complex started in 2021. Initially, we were told it would be delivered this year; later, completion was extended to August next year. Why such a delay?
