"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated in my response, my Ministry has undertaken to do these two major bridges alongside other critical bridges in the country that link critical market areas and where people live. However, our current budget does not allow that. As early as 26th October this year, we were requested to nominate five bridges to be funded by the Netherlands and this was one of the bridges that were given. We are very positive that we will get this funding for Sigiri Bridge. The other one is not among the top five that we gave but we are doing everything possible to ensure that we undertake that. As to how many people will die before that is done, I may not be able to give a clear indication. However, it would be important for us to focus on the safety of the canoes in the meantime because if the canoe is overloaded, we are bound to have more casualties. Therefore, we are asking that those who are using the canoes and other means of crossing the river to be safety conscious and to ensure that they do not overload their canoes as they cross. In the meantime, like I said, the Ministry of Transport will look into ways of ensuring that we look for short-term measures. At this stage, if the hon. Minister would wish to inform me, I would be glad."

There used to be a ferry at Sigiri in the 1980s and the Minister for Transport was supposed to give an answer with regard to that as well as the Minister of State for Special Programme with regard to the families that were affected in the disaster. Can the remaining bit be directed to the relevant Ministries? Could the question be deferred for the two Ministers to respond?"

In consultation with the Ministry of Transport and other relevant Government Departments, we intend to start doing some viability studies on the viability of having a ferry service on that a section of the bridge. That is what we can say for now."
