The Hon. Stepni Fernando
Hon. Stepni Fernando raised a supplementary question concerning a playground consisting of three lots, stating that two lots have unregistered deeds and a third 38-perch lot has neither a deed nor registration, based on information obtained through RTI. She requested a clear investigation into the land’s ownership and registration status, as well as broader examination of land use by the Council, alleging past mishandling of lands during the tenure of former Chairmen.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, my second supplementary question is this. Hon. Minister, you know the playground comprises three lots. As far as I know, two of those lots have deeds, but they have not been registered. The third one is a lot of 38 perches in extent; I obtained that information under the RTI. It has neither a deed nor registration. A clear investigation should be conducted into this. Also, land use within that Council should be examined. During the tenure of certain former Chairmen, a large number of lands have been mishandled. I request a proper investigation. Are you aware of this, or will you initiate an investigation?
