Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga has funded the construction of a house for a financially disadvantaged family in the Thambuththegama area using her personal funds.
The former President said she had recently visited the site to inspect the progress of the construction work.
She explained that although she had retired from active politics, supporting people in need remained part of her commitment to public service.
“Even though I have retired from active politics, it is my way of life to serve the people to the best of my ability,” she said.
