The Hon. Jeevan Thondaman
Hon. Jeevan Thondaman asked the Government to table in Parliament the MoU signed on the plantation wages issue, noting public requests for its release. He also raised concerns that affected communities in Hanguranketa, including Hope, Rockwood, Hewaheta and Loolkandura, had not received assistance despite deaths, including 11 in Loolkandura, and requested a Government response.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I have two matters. First, last month a document was signed — not a contract, but an MoU — on the wages issue. Media, politicians and civil organizations have requested details, but the Government refuses to release it. I asked yesterday as well to submit that document to Parliament. Will you submit it?
¶ 02 Second, in Hanguranketa area — Hope, Rockwood, Hewaheta and Loolkandura — people were affected; 11 died in Loolkandura alone, but no assistance has reached these areas. I expect your response on this as well. Thank you.
