Chamara Sampath Dasanayake questioned the Government over an alleged Board decision to sell a State building affected by Renuka’s construction to Renuka.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Minister, you need not take my advice; I am not giving directions. Since the State building was affected due to Renuka’s construction, I maintain there was a Board decision to sell it to Renuka. If you deny it, show me; otherwise I cannot accept that denial. Your Government does not have a privatization policy for such disposals. If selling, do it properly; my question is to avoid loss to the State.
