Work on the proposed housing project in Guru-pokuna, Hambantota commenced today with Minister of Housing and construction Sajith Premadasa laying the foundation stone for the project. The housing scheme will consist of 29 houses.

This Model village is being constructed under the 2016 Semata Sewana National Housing Programme. Sewing machines were also distributed to several low income families to assist in self-employment.

“A group of hypocrites are stating that we don’t engage in good governance” charged the Minister of Housing and Construction who pointed out that it was them who acted against principles while the current government is engaged in good governance.

“Maithripala Sirisena is a a good king and the former President was a Sadistic king”said Minister Premadasa who further added that during the previous administration massive loans were obtained at exorbitant rates but this money was not used to bring an income to the country

He further charged that due to such action by the previous regime it was the children of the country who became debtors and it was the previous administration that pawned the lives of unborn children for their comforts
