Hon. Asitha Niroshana Egoda Vithana
Hon. Asitha Niroshana Egoda Vithana rejected an allegation by Hon. Mujibur Rahuman that buses were not operating on the Mattakkuliya–Soyzapura 155 route. He stated that, as of the previous day, one private bus and six Sri Lanka Transport Board buses were operating around 20 trips on the route, and said the current Government was responding to public transport concerns.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I will conclude briefly.
¶ 02 Hon. Mujibur Rahuman alleged that buses are not operating on the Mattakkuliya–Soyzapura 155 route. That is false. As of yesterday, in addition to a private bus, six Sri Lanka Transport Board buses were operating with about 20 trips. Those who ignored this issue while in power now shed crocodile tears. Had they addressed people’s issues then, they would not have lost the Colombo Municipal Council or government. The present Government listens and intervenes.
¶ 03 Thank you for the opportunity, Hon. Deputy Chairperson.
