Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper stated that he had proposed allocating Rs. 2.5 million from the MPs’ quota to convert the abandoned first floor of the Narpittimunai market into a community hall, as the area lacks such a facility. He said the proposal had been submitted to the District Coordinating Committee, but inaction by the Kalmunai Divisional Secretariat had prevented approval and amounted to a breach of his parliamentary privilege. He requested that approval be granted for the project.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, as the only MP permanently residing in the Kalmunai area, I proposed allocating Rs. 2.5 million from the MPs’ quota of 1100 for creating a community hall on the abandoned first floor of the Narpittimunai market, and placed it before the DCC for approval. The Kalmunai Divisional Secretariat’s inaction has resulted in a breach of my privilege in being unable to secure approval. Narpittimunai has no community hall; I request approval for that project.
