The Hon. Nishantha Perera
Nishantha Perera asked whether the Ministry has a programme to provide land to vulnerable and landless families, noting that many poor households, including multiple families living together, lack even a small plot of land. He raised the question in the context of concerns that land has been granted to others, including politicians, while many needy families remain without land.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my first supplementary question is this.
¶ 02 We know the manner in which lands have been received, and that politicians too have received lands. But there are large numbers of poor families in the country without even an inch of land, including households where 4–5 families live together. When so many people are in need, lands have still been granted in this way. Therefore, I ask the Hon. Deputy Minister whether there is a program from the Ministry’s side to provide lands to these vulnerable families and households.
