The Hon. Asitha Niroshana Egoda Vithana
Asitha Niroshana Egoda Vithana raised a question to the Minister of Urban Development, Construction and Housing concerning alleged misuse of prime state lands obtained cheaply and subleased for excessive profit. He asked whether the UDA owns land near the Second Bypass Road in Kalapaluwawa, Kaduwela, and, if so, its extent and whether it has been leased, including the lessee, purpose, and terms.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, I direct this question to the Minister of Urban Development, Construction and Housing.
¶ 02 By exploiting various connections and social situations, prime state lands belonging to the Urban Development Authority (UDA) and other government institutions have been obtained at very low prices and subleased with additional side‑rentals, earning excessive profits—amounting to misappropriation of state assets. Therefore:
¶ 03 1. Is there a parcel of land belonging to the UDA adjacent to the Second Bypass Road in Kalapaluwawa within Kaduwela electorate? If so, what is its extent?
¶ 04 2. Has this land now been leased on a rental basis? If so, to whom, for what purpose, and on what basis?
