The Hon. (Dr.) Pathmanathan Sathiyalingam
Asked the Minister whether a special committee would be appointed to review non-operational community water supply schemes in dry areas. He said some projects had been implemented without proper needs assessments, leading to wastage of public funds, and requested project-by-project identification of failures and recommendations for solutions.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. My first supplementary:
¶ 02 Community water supply is vital for our dry areas. Many schemes were implemented without assessing real needs, causing significant wastage of national funds. You have outlined general reasons for non-operation. Will you appoint a special committee to examine each project, identify the specific reasons for failure, and recommend solutions?
