Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya - Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education
Hon. (Dr.) Harini Amarasuriya clarified that her earlier answer was limited to projects under the MoU signed during the Indian Prime Minister’s visit, as that was the scope of the Member’s question. She stated that Government development plans for the Eastern Province extend beyond those projects, with separate budgetary allocations for 2024, 2025 and 2026, and that provincial officials and public representatives have been asked to submit proposals following consultations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the Member’s question related specifically to projects under the MoU signed during the Indian Prime Minister’s visit. Government development for the Eastern Province is not confined only to those. Separate budgetary allocations have been made by this Government for plans for the Eastern Province for 2024, 2025 and 2026. Consultations for 2025 also took place. Officials and public representatives at provincial level have been informed to submit proposals. My answer addressed only the MoU-related projects you asked about.
