The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
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.
