Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said in the Parliament yesterday (13) that the budget allowed the restart of development projects that had been halted for two years.

He also mentioned that Decentralized funds, Provincial Council funds and Central Government projects have been given to all the members who participated in the development committees and submitted their requests and suggestions.  The Prime Minister said this while replying to the question raised by MP Dayasiri Jayasekara regarding the circular for the establishment of Community Advisory Committees issued by the President’s Office.

The Prime Minister said that the circular for the establishment of Community Advisory Committees does not mention the appointment of candidates competing in the Local Government elections as its members, and the support of rural leaders with practical knowledge such as retired engineers, industrial officers and people from various professions across the country will be used for the development of the country, the Premier emphasised.

The Prime Minister said that educated and responsible people in the Provincial Council will also be used, and questioned whether the Opposition would declare not to do so.
