The Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana
Dr. Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana questioned the Minister about delays following Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inauguration of the Sampur solar power project with the President. He asked why tenders had not yet been called and why the CEB’s required infrastructure and transmission line work appeared not to be progressing.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, my first supplementary is this:
¶ 02 The Indian Prime Minister, Hon. Narendra Modi, visited Sri Lanka and inaugurated the Sampur solar power project, laying the foundation for a major investment in solar power. Months have passed since that inauguration held with our President, yet tenders have not been called. The CEB must build the necessary infrastructure and transmission lines; we do not see this progressing. Why is there a delay in calling tenders?
