Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Leader of the Opposition, you may receive reports—some could be incorrect, leaked from somewhere. As a responsible government, our duty is to provide services at fair prices through a cost-recovery pricing mechanism. Independent institutions review data submitted by relevant agencies and make recommendations. Final decisions will be based on those independent assessments. Rather than the Government deciding the quantum, the Public Utilities Commission will review and decide.
