The Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana
Hon. (Dr.) Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana questioned the effectiveness of repeated allocations for wastewater management, citing about USD 178 million from the ADB, LKR 13.6 billion in the previous Budget, and LKR 2.5 billion for Beira Lake-related work this year. He asked what further measures the Government would take to address continuing deficiencies in sewage and solid waste disposal systems for Colombo residents.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I thank the Hon. Minister for the reply. Based on my quick calculations, about USD 178 million has been provided by the ADB for wastewater management. The previous Budget also allocated LKR 13.6 billion domestically for wastewater management, and this year LKR 2.5 billion is allocated for Beira Lake-related wastewater management. Yet, Colombo residents still lack proper systems for sewage and solid waste disposal. What further measures will the Government take, given the repeated allocations?
