Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa questioned Transport Minister Bandula Gunawardane on how the ‘Sri Lanka Legume’ tree (Crudia zeylanica) which blocked the construction of the Colombo-Kandy Expressway in the Daraluwa area of Veyangoda, was removed within a short period of time.

Minister Bandula Gunawardane said the tree was removed so quickly due to the efficiency of the state officials who carried out the Cabinet decision to remove the tree.

"Minister, can you explain how you cut the tree and made it vanish so soon?" Wimal Weerawansa asked.

"It is the efficiency of the state officials in carrying out a Cabinet decision soon after it was taken," Minister Gunawardene said
