The Hon. (Prof.) A.H.M.H. Abayarathna - Minister of Public Administration, Provincial Councils and Local Government
The Minister clarified that no houses have been allocated to Ministers, and that allocations are being made in line with Cabinet approval granted on 9 December 2024 and subsequent committee recommendations. He said six houses have been temporarily allocated on nominal rent, further institutional requests are under consideration, and requests from Opposition Members could also be considered for allocation where appropriate.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, with respect, there seems to be a misunderstanding. No Minister has been given any of those houses. As I said, pursuant to Cabinet approval of 2024.12.09, the Committee has submitted recommendations and we are acting accordingly. As I also stated, six houses have been temporarily allocated on a nominal rent. Further requests have been received from institutions and are being considered. If Members of the Opposition make requests, we can consider those too and, where appropriate, allocate.
