The Hon. (Dr.) Ramanathan Archchuna
Dr. Ramanathan Archchuna complained that his questions had not received specific answers and objected to being redirected to another Ministry. He alleged that land in the North had been taken under the guise of development, questioned why M. Pradeeban had not been removed following a Governor’s letter alleging corruption, and asked for evidence of completed development outcomes in Jaffna arising from DCC decisions over the past year.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, none of my questions received a proper answer. I asked for specific figures and clear replies, and I am told to ask another Ministry. Under the cover of “development” in the North, people’s lands have been taken. My simple question: why have you not removed M. Pradeeban from office, even after the Governor’s letter alleging corruption? Over the past year, beyond mere foundation stones, can you cite a single completed development outcome in Jaffna under DCC decisions? Jaffna is not anyone’s betel box to be used at convenience.
