• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: To the best of my knowledge, when these nominations are being done by the District Commissioners, the MPs are involved. So, if any of these names are submitted to my office without the knowledge of the MP, then those names are null and void. view

• 10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir according to me, this is a new question. However, I would like to take up this matter with my Ministry because to my knowledge, money has been released to the respective tribunals.

• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that a private developer is putting up a structure next to the existing Administration Police Canteen.

• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that, with the passage of the National Land Policy (NLP), all this will be history. A lot of things will happen after this policy is turned into law. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a different Question. However, my position is that the land we are talking about was actually planned for Government offices. Therefore, we have already requested the Provincial Administration, and the Ministry of Local Government, to ensure that this development is stopped. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as it is, this land cannot be taken away without the recommendations of the local authority and the Minister for Local Government. That is actually a fact. So, if any transactions take place in the Ministry of Local Government, I will not be in a position to do anything. However, if we are informed, we will intervene. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
