Expedite reforms to Ordinances & Acts related to LG Bodies: PM

15 Feb 2021

Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa today instructed the relevant authorities to expedite making proposed amendments to the Municipal Councils and Urban Councils Ordinances and the Pradeshiya Sabha Act. He was speaking at a meeting of the Forum of Local Government Institutions at Temple Trees held today. Accordingly, Minister of Public Service, Provincial Councils and Local Government Janaka Bandara Tennakoon assured that the relevant cabinet paper is already ready for the relevant amendment and will be presented soon. At the meeting, Mayor of the Moratuwa Municipal Council Samanlal Fernando stated that the revenue of the local government bodies has fallen sharply due to the Covid-19 situation and that the shortage of staff in these institutions has led to many crises. The Prime Minister reminded that the relevant recruitments could be made through the programme of providing 100,000 jobs. He also said that it was the responsibility of the people's representatives to fulfill the promises made before being elected to power. It was revealed at the meeting that about 90 percent of the powers taken over by the Urban Development Authority by the government that came to power in 2015 have been transferred back to the local government bodies on the instructions of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister also instructed the UDA to ensure that the respective local government bodies have representation in the process of implementing plans.
