The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake asked the Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development about a National Gem and Jewellery Authority building and land at Galle Face Terrace, Kollupitiya, which he said had subsided due to adjacent construction by a Renuka Holdings-affiliated company. He sought confirmation of the Authority’s legal action against Renuka Holdings and asked whether the Government-appointed Board of Directors planned to settle the case and sell the property to the company, or to explain if not.
