The Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam
Hon. Shanakiyan Rajaputhiran Rasamanickam questioned why allocations for Bakkiella Road, Willukulam Road and Kiran Road could not be channelled through the Road Development Authority or Road Development Department without transferring Local Authority roads to the RDA. He argued that Local Authorities fall under Provincial Councils and asked that funding be provided without weakening or further reducing the powers of the Provincial Council system.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Under what do Local Authorities come? Hon. Deputy Minister, even Local Authorities come under Provincial Councils; you do not seem to know that. What I am asking is why funds cannot be provided to the RDA or RDD for the Bakkiella Road, Willukulam Road and Kiran Road that I mentioned, without weakening the Provincial Council system, without making it more powerless—since Local Authorities also come under Provincial Councils—without taking Local Authority roads to the RDA, why cannot allocations be made to these institutions without undermining Provincial Councils? That is my second supplementary question.
