The Hon. Thilina Samarakoon
Hon. Thilina Samarakoon raised concerns about under-occupied and incomplete housing projects, including alleged lack of proper selection procedures, approvals, and placement in elephant corridors. He asked whether the NHDA and the Ministry could complete the houses within a fixed timeframe and allocate them to low-income people without land or homes.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, my second supplementary question:
¶ 02 According to your statistics, in one project of 15 houses only five are occupied; in another with 25 houses, only 23 are occupied, and practically only about ten are occupied. There was no proper selection basis or approvals. Some projects are in elephant corridors; some are incomplete. Low-income persons without land or houses constantly seek help. Through the NHDA and your Ministry, can you, within a fixed timeframe, complete these houses and allocate them to those without homes?
