The Hon. Lal Premanath
Lal Premanath welcomed the Minister’s stated measures and asked whether the Government has considered a formal programme to reassign vehicles brought into the country for large-scale projects funded by bodies such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank. He specifically queried whether such vehicles could be allocated to public institutions facing vehicle shortages and transport difficulties.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, according to the Hon. Minister, good steps are being taken by the Government and the Ministry. On behalf of the officers, I thank you and ask my second supplementary:
¶ 02 We know large-scale projects are carried out in the country by institutions such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and many vehicles are brought in for such projects. I am unaware of the exact legal status, but have you considered a formal programme to assign such vehicles to institutions with deficiencies and transport difficulties? Can such a programme be implemented?
