The Hon. Ramanathan Archchuna
Ramanathan Archchuna opposed the Cabinet decision to convert all Dedicated Economic Centres into a private company, noting that the Northern Province lacks a functioning centre. He urged the Minister to visit Chavakachcheri and properly establish the facility, emphasizing the need for actual service delivery rather than misleading announcements.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chair, I support opposing the Cabinet decision to convert all DECs into a private company. In the Northern Province there is effectively no functioning DEC; we have urged the Minister to visit Chavakachcheri and set it up properly. My aim is not to insult but to press for action.
¶ 02 Please also ensure that broader government claims are not mere theatrics. [Chair directs the Member to remain relevant.] I will conclude: ensure real service delivery and avoid misleading announcements. Thank you.
