The Hon. Dewananda Suraweera
Hon. Dewananda Suraweera questioned whether continued sale of the society’s properties could realistically repay depositors, noting that two land sales had yielded only about 10 per cent of the Rs. 1 billion owed and that four more sales would add only around 5 per cent. He asked what would happen to depositors and the society after the remaining lands were exhausted, and called for an immediate halt to the sale of these public assets.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary is this: selling properties will not be sufficient to pay depositors Rs. 1 billion. Two lands sold yielded only about 10%. Even if four more are sold, it will add only another 5% or so. After selling and exhausting those lands, what then for the depositors and the society? Will you immediately halt the property sales? These are public assets.
