The Hon. Harshana Nanayakkara, Attorney-at-Law
The Minister acknowledged that around 60 projects had been stalled due to the economic crisis when the government took office. He said action was initiated after the issue was raised through the District Coordination Committee and by letter, with Cabinet memoranda submitted and coordination undertaken with the Cabinet Secretariat and NBRO. He noted that recent cyclone conditions increased NBRO’s workload and caused delays, but stated that the aim is to complete the matter within the year.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 We have recognized it. Frankly, when we took office there were about 60 projects stalled due to the economic crisis. I thank Hon. Lal Premanath for raising this. I first became aware of this not through my Ministry, but through your intervention at the District Coordination Committee and your letter to us. Thereafter, we worked with the Cabinet Secretariat, submitted Cabinet memoranda and proceeded. We coordinated with NBRO as well. The recent cyclone conditions increased NBRO’s workload, causing further delays. We aim to complete this within this year. Thank you for raising it.
