The Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara, Attorney-at-Law - Minister of Justice and National Integration
The Minister stated that he could address the issue concerning the five perches of land because it falls under the Ministry of Justice, while broader proposals would require a feasibility assessment. He said the Ministry could mediate, upon receiving an official request, to support community needs within its mandate of promoting inter-ethnic cooperation, but could not specify the exact intervention at that stage.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, at this moment I can speak to the five perches because it is on Justice Ministry land. Regarding your broader proposal, we need to assess feasibility. Our Ministry’s mandate includes fostering inter-ethnic cooperation; thus, upon receiving an official request, we can mediate to meet the community’s needs as far as possible. I cannot specify the exact form of intervention now, but we will engage within our mandate.
