During our anniversary weekend, we have planned exciting themed activities which would undoubtedly amuse them.
Titled ‘4th Jubilation’ to denote an exuberant four years, CCC’s fourth-anniversary celebration will put in perspective many of its milestones. “Our initial vision for the mall was to develop it as a space where Sri Lankan families could enjoy quality time together. With the mix of high-end local and international brands, a variety of food and beverage options, a plethora of entertainment for kids and young adults and 6-screen Cineplex, we have been able to achieve just that, offering Sri Lanka its first ever international mall,” said Aban Pestonjee, Chairperson, Abans Group.
In another unprecedented milestone, CCC will collaborate with top international hotel brand Marriott Hotels, which will hold favourable prospects for patrons and homeowners alike. The soon-to-open ‘The Courtyard by Marriott’, in addition to a star-class dining experience, will offer entertainment and co-working spaces for business owners. The Colombo City Centre Management invites all patrons to visit the mall over the upcoming anniversary weekend and enjoy quality family time and avail themselves of the anniversary specials offered by the retailers.
Approval has been granted at the Cabinet meeting held on 22.07.2024 to publish the draft bill of State Assets Management Act in the government gazette notification and thereby present it to the Parliament for its concurrence.
However, the draft bill couldn’t be passed in Parliament as a result of the Parliament being dissolved in the month of October 2024.
Thereafter, the draft bill was subject to further inspection by a
committee appointed which comprised of officials and authorities on the subject.
The said Committee has recognized the amendments to be made and a fundamental draft has been prepared including the proposed amendments.
Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the resolution furnished by the President in his capacity as the Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development to suspend further activities regarding the draft bill of State Assets Management Act published in the extraordinary gazette of 02.08.2024, and to direct the Legal Draftsman to prepare a draft bill based on the fundamental draft prepared by the subject specialists’ committee.
Considering the compliance of the Cooperative Societies’ operations with the concurrent socio – economic circumstances as well as the changes in the common law, the requirement of amending the Cooperative Employees Commission Act No. 12 of 1972 has been recognized.
A fundamental draft including proposed amendments based on the experience gained by that Commission as well as the opinions and proposals of Cooperative societies, their director board members, cooperative employees and other interested parties has been prepared.
Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers granted approval to the resolution furnished by the Minister of Trade, Commerce, Food Security and Cooperative development to provide instructions to the Legal draftsman to prepare a draft bill to amend the Cooperative Employees Commission Act No. 12 0f 1972, based on the said fundamental draft.
