The Hon. Dharmapriya Dissanayake
Dharmapriya Dissanayake raised a supplementary question about disparities in local authority revenues that have led some councils to remove street lamps because they cannot pay electricity bills. He asked whether, under the new reforms, measures would be introduced to address the problem and prevent communities from having to work or travel in darkness.
Verbatim record (translated)
