Hon. (Dr.) Nishantha Samaraweera
Hon. (Dr.) Nishantha Samaraweera raised a supplementary question about activities at a park said to fall under the Ruhunu Tourism Bureau, alleging that recent actions had taken place without the Bureau’s knowledge or coordination. He asked the Minister to intervene and examine whether the responsibilities assigned to the Ruhunu Tourism Bureau were being properly carried out, noting concerns about briefings to local residents and resulting public protests.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, this is my second supplementary question.
¶ 02 Hon. Minister, although there was an idea that this park comes under the Ruhunu Tourism Bureau, it has been observed that many recent activities were carried out without the knowledge of the Ruhunu Tourism Bureau. Also, the team managing the place has been engaging the local residents with certain briefings, acting without coordination with the Ruhunu Tourism Bureau, and building public protests regarding those activities. Special attention should be paid to this as well. Therefore, you should intervene and look into whether the portion of work belonging to the Ruhunu Tourism Bureau is being properly carried out.
