The Hon. Waruna Liyanage
Waruna Liyanage asked the Government to consider reintroducing and funding the National Insurance Trust Fund’s disaster insurance scheme in the next Budget, noting that it had provided significant relief to disaster-affected people. He suggested that support could be sought through the IMF programme and highlighted the recurring annual flood risk in Rathnapura.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: The insurance scheme under the National Insurance Trust Fund provided great relief to disaster-affected people. We expected the Government to continue and fund it, even through IMF programme support. Please consider reintroducing this scheme via the next Budget, especially as Rathnapura floods annually.
